Mojo standard library roadmap

This is a high-level plan for the Mojo standard library.

We plan to update this roadmap approximately every 6 months, in alignment with Modular's internal workflows. The roadmap updates act as a forcing function for discussions with the Mojo community to ensure the standard library contributors both internally and externally are aligned on the future technical direction.

For more about our long-term aspirations, check out our Vision doc.

2024 Q2+ roadmap

The following are high-level themes the Mojo standard library team will be working on over the next 6 months. Keep in mind that Mojo and the Mojo standard library are still in early development and many features will land in the months ahead. Currently, that means we are focused on the core system programming features that are essential to Mojo's mission.

Core library improvements

  • Remove AnyTrivialRegType in the standard library in favor of AnyType.

  • Unify Pointer and AnyPointer.

  • Apply Reference types and lifetimes throughout APIs and types.

  • Design API conventions and expected behavior for core collection types such as List, String, and Dict.

Generic programming improvements

  • Define core traits for generic programming models.

  • Define an iterator model and implement iterator support for core types.

  • Standardize collection meta type names (such as element_type, key_type, and value_type).

Improve Python interop

  • Improve PythonObject (including object) using new Mojo language features.

Performance improvements

  • Set up performance benchmarking infrastructure along with regression tests for perf-sensitive data structures and algorithms.
