>Mojo aims to combine the usability of a high-level programming language, specifically Python, with the performance of a system programming language such as C++, Rust, and Zig

Providing usability without GC is an oxymoron.

The best attempt so far for Pythonic compiled language is D, that's probably why it's not mentioned in the Wikipedia entry along side other languages comparison. D has GC by default but manual memory management is supported as well.

Probably compiler researchers need to come with truly determinstic GC like the automotive industry invented the automatic gear. So that other existing compiled programming languages with GC like Go and D can thrive.
