Mojo compiles "Python" to heterogeneous hardware, I don't believe that has been tried before.

It has.

There's Numba, CuPy, Jax and torch.compile. Arguably they are more like DSLs, which happen to integrate into Python than regular Python

Of course I don't know what Mojo will actually bring to the table since their documentation doesn't mention anything GPU specific, but the idea isn't completely novel.
