It&rsquo;s the language of <em>Mathematica<\/em>, and CDF&mdash;and the language used to implement Wolfram|Alpha. But now&mdash;considerably extended, and unified with the knowledgebase of Wolfram|Alpha&mdash;it&rsquo;s about to emerge on its own, ready to be at the center of a remarkable constellation of new developments.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of existing general-purpose computer languages. But their vision is very different&mdash;and in a sense much more modest&mdash;than the Wolfram Language. They concentrate on managing the structure of programs, keeping the language itself small in scope, and relying on a web of external libraries for additional functionality. In the Wolfram Language my concept from the very beginning has been to create a single tightly integrated system in which as much as possible is included right in the language itself.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven Wolfram: We&rsquo;re getting closer to the first official release of the Wolfram Language&mdash;so I am starting to demo it more publicly.
