I used Mojo a while back before LLM laziness kicked in and agents started writing all the code. I didn't know anything about GPU programming and it almost felt dirty how easy it was to get some performant kernels running (5070). Even I could do it.

I'm in financial engineering and I feel like mojo is definitely the language for that field in the future, especially with the relatively easy python interop for legacy stuff.

I wonder how much chance of broader adoption Mojo has now when seemingly everyone has succumbed to that LLM laziness.

Zilch. Probably why they are open sourcing it.

Anything in our stack is modern C++ if we can help it. If Mojo can replace those kernels without the Python runtime sitting underneath, even better.
