As an alternative, I’m working on reimplementing Wolfram Language/ Mathematica in Rust: https://woxi.ad-si.com/ A lot of Wolfram Language code just works already!…

LLMs are now smart enough to simply download the code of any project they want to inspect. So this argument doesn't really hold up anymore …

Thanks! I'm using [Anki Panky]( https://github.com/kamalsacranie/anki-panky ) for generating the flashcards and then [Anki]( https://apps.ankiweb.net/ ) itself …

I tried out numerous audio tagging apps (Kid3, Picard, …) and wasn't happy with any of them. They all try to work with some kind of library system of have a really bad UX (single line input for L…

Not yet, but on the roadmap!

Mh, I thought about this a little and came actually to exactly the opposite conclusion: Implement as much as possible in Rust to get the fastest code possible. Do you have any more insights why this s…

Why should I want them to use it?

Yeah, I've already looked into it, but decided to keep developing it "example driven" for now. Aka I'm playing around with it, and whenever I find something that's broken I ke…

They rebranded it to Wolfram Language a few years ago (which I actually appreciate, as it is so much more than just "math" by now!) https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2013&#…

Oh cool, haven't heard of this before. Could be a good fit - I'll have to try it out some day!

I think Wolfram Language is just so much more ergonomic. No need to import dependencies - everything's included and consistent, very readable - yet compact - syntax, less gotchas than Python, R, …

Hard to tell honestly. So far there was always some surprisingly straight forward solution If had any problems with the math engine. There is actually a lot of public research how equations can be sol…

It's having ~ 5000 tests already. Used correctly, AI agents can help you improve the quality of the code!

Such a massive undertaking would be almost impossible without AI agents, so yeah, they help me. But with around 5000 tests, they are actually helping to improve the software quality!

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Development_Corp._v._Bor... ., a software clone does not infringe software copyright. So yeah, I'd guess sooner or later ever…

Exactly! And: - Faster startup time because of no license check - Can run multiple instances of Woxi at the same time - Embeddable via WASM - Configurable via compile time flags (which features should…

That's actually a value that Wolfram determines themselves. Here is the documentation for it: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/WolframLanguageDa... Here is e.…

Sure, but you've got to start somewhere! And with the amount of progress I was able to make in just a few weeks, I'm very optimistic that the polish will come sooner rather than later.

Hi, I'm the main developer. We're steadily getting closer to the next release which will support most features of Mathematica 1.0 plus some of the most popular newer functions (> 900 over…

Yes, definitely! This is one of Mathematica’s hallmark features and it would not be complete without it.

Yes, we agree that a lot of the value comes from the huge standard library. That's why we try to implement as much of it as possible. Right now we support more than 900 functions. All the Data fu…

Yes, definitely! So we also try to implement as much of it as possible. Currently we support over 900 functions of the 6000 from Mathematica!

I also think that sandboxing is crucial. That’s why I’m working on a Wolfram Language interpreter that can be run fully sandboxed via WebAssembly: https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi …

I agree, but to be truly foundational, it needs to be open source and accessible for everyone! That’s why I’m working on an open source implementation of Mathematica (i.e. an Wolfram Language interpre…
