Mojo is a inter-process communication (IPC) system used to communicate different processes. The Mojo Interface Defined Language (IDL) is an essential component of the Mojo framework, allowing developers to define interfaces for communication between different programming languages, such as TypeScript and C++. The Mojo IDL tells the messages and their formats, ensuring that all parties involved understand how to communicate.
