This seems to be going for a somewhat similar goal to Mojo [0] - anyone here who used both and is willing to offer a comparison?

There are even older languages with similar goals. At least three are called viper and are older than 6 years. Two linked below and much older one with ocaml-ish features that I could not find a link for.

Time for me to remind everyone of the Shedskin Python compiler.

Based on my understanding, Mojo aims to make number crunch computation faster (GPU), while as SPy aims to make generic Python application logic faster. Very similar, but different sweet spots and use cases.
While GPU is a focus of Mojo, it is also planned to make it a general system programming language similar to C++ and Rust.
Your understanding of mojo is incomplete. Just visiting their website would have cleared that up.
