Introduction of Stephen Wolfram to the Wolfram Language

Hi, Habr! I believe many have heard of the Wolfram Mathematica system, however, judging by the fact that there is not even a separate hub on Wolfram technologies on Habré, not many people realize their real potential. But it seems that this will change soon, since Wolfram is close to the final release of the technology that they have been developing for 30 years. It is called the Wolfram Language and is a completely new programming paradigm, much more powerful than all existing ones.



Compared to existing systems, programming on a Wolfram is somewhat similar to programming in Python: everything is extremely intuitive and absolutely any possibilities are available out of the box. But unlike Python, Wolfram is not focused on simple algorithmization, but on data processing and scientific research (although this does not interfere with programming it in a procedural style, but it will be similar to using goto in OOP). If now you have the words MATLAB or Mathcad in your head, then I honestly admit that I am not familiar with these systems. However, I am familiar with SciLab and Maxima, which are usually put in one row. And the last 2 copies, technology Wolfram well, no it does not like. It is like Windows 2000 and iOS.

However, all this is only my humble impressions of using Wolfram Mathematica , the syntax of which is an impressive part of the upcoming Wolfram Language. And about what is really coming, it is better to listen to the one who in 1979 brewed all this mess with a new type of science - Stephen Wolfram in the voice acting of Roman Osipov from the Russian-speaking support of Wolfram Mathematica and my translation from English.
