One of the most amazing technologies and one of the most brilliant minds! I have been a big admirer of Wolfram Alpha and Mathematica for years and I am sure that the team at Wolfram is doing a great job, help people create amazing things and of course, push the scientific knowledge forward!. Bravo to Stephen Wolfram and his team.
I've used this program all through out my math courses, huge huge help. really helped me understand what the problems mean. been using wolfram alpha since alpha.
I've been very eager to see the development progress for Wolfram Alpha for a long time now and am glad to finally see a live demo. This is mind-blowing, revolutionary stuff.
I am stunned that there are only 64K subscribers on this channel... My head is spinning and I feel a bit sick (In a good way) at the monumental possibilities that the whole Wolfram toolset can do! Congrats I will be deep diving on this system. Thank you!
I am stunned that a brilliant man like Stephen Wolfram, who doesn't hesitate to plug Wolfram Language at any opportunity, doesn't realize that its lack of popularity is due to its closed, pay-for-use model. Until it becomes open source it will only be used in institutions that force their students to use Mathematica. Once students graduate they quickly realize that there are free, portable ways of programming (such as Python) that don't lock them into a proprietary system of uncertain future.
First read Wolfram's story 10+ years ago and thought, this guy could do something more significant. Now I see he's been doing much more significant than I wished.
Wow. This is amazing. Even though it throws away alot of practice that programmers can get by manually programming all of that stuff, its really interesting and can be helpful for a lot of educational purposes.
two things : 1) very happy to see symbolic/functional/pattern-based idioms put forth (NPI) like this. 2) impressively large coordinated effort. Almost a lisp os / sidefx houdini / repl.
This is AMAZING - You have just defined the future of development. Model Driven, Functional, Mathematical, Declarative, clean and simple, with lots of Knowledge. All in models. I love it. Can I buy shares :-)
Excellent presentation. I welcome the progress that has been made since Wolfram|α and my initial encounter with Mathematica 3.0 way back in '96. A sure-footed design process has resulted in a tool that immediately seems familiar to me.
Stephen Wolfram keeps amazing constantly. This really is a surprise. I was wondering if it would be a standalone product as its not very clear to me if it would be.
This looks pretty awesome. Stephen Wolfram demos the Wolfram Language, a "knowledge-based programming" language "30 years in the making." Built on "a small set of powerful principles" such as "coherence, maximum automation, scalability, and parallelism," the goal with the Wolfram Language was to "encapsulate as much computational knowledge as possible so people can go from ideas to deployed products as quickly and easily as possible." And yet, despite being "a huge language, by far the largest ever," it seems to be "uniquely good as a first programming language because you can do so much so easily, and quickly get exposed to such a broad range of methods and topics." I've been thinking about learning Rails as my first language, but this seems quite fun and powerful. Anybody want to form a weekly studygroup Hangout? #wolframlanguage #programming #languages #computerscience #functionalprogramming
I read on Quora that this is the "Mother of all programs." Not bad. :) I'm new to the MMA language, and find it very appealing, certainly in retrospect to MATLAB (which I love very much as well). Great job with the Wolfram platform, Stephen.
That first MAC that had the issue, looks like the RTC battery leaked onto the PCB and started to eat into the video lines that are near to it. I used "Mathematica 1" 30 plus years ago. Loved it then and still love it today.
There is a time and place for both low level programming and high level programming. This abstraction is deep but powerful. Wherever it may be useful, I'm not sure, but I'm sure people will find great ways to put it to use.
Nice! I wish it will get enough traction. That depends a lot by the licensing... well I know its a business, but people I believe there is a quirk here. Amazing
I think Mathematica and these extensions are truly amazing, but I am dismayed at Wolfram taking credit for everything. This was almost all done by a very smart team of people who are invisible.
This looks reeeeally interesting. I am mainly a Python/Haskell programmer, and I am starting to wonder about how does the Wolfram-lang compares to those other two. This might be an interesting evening.
I'm at least sold on trying it. I've been using Weka to do some basic document classification, this might be easier to integrate with other things, though.
Amazing, I always liked Mathematica, because it is symbolic and for its design. I used it on PCs, but I believe that it was designed to run in NeXT computers., and that this new language is an old promise of Wolfram ;) . .the first idea (If I remember well..) was a new language based on cellular automata, or something like that... again.. it is amazing!
I am not a programer but I took a c++ class last semester and this looks cool but really confusing I wonder how useful it will actually be. I used wolfram to help me check if I did math problems right but this new language is not what I used.
I'm a stupid. Still: this feels like a Python/Perl/Ruby-fan explaining why Python/Perl/Ruby is so amazing. It's not the language, it's the libraries, it's the engine/compiler/runtime... or I'm even more stupid than I think.
Is it independent from any other programming language or is it C or C++-based? I think that might not be called a programming language but an interface.
Impressive. I wonder of Wolfram Language can be deployed using other human languages that have different alphabet system from English such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Russian, Arabic, Sanskrit, International symbols, and graphical user interface icons. Are these available now or in the future versions of Wolfram Language?
very nice idea to make us activate camera and then having to do a google search on how to release the camera from mathematica! - wolfram alpha did not return the release instructions; google search did though :)
No fair. The latest release of Mathematica is 9.0.1, which doesn't have many of these operations (RandomColor, Blend that works on images, Sunset, EntityData). I have a Raspberry Pi with a preview version of 10.0, with the latest updates applied, which also doesn't have all of these functions (Sunset, for example). For some operations that are there, they don't produce quite the same output as shown on the video. The ListLogPlot looks much nicer in the video. The CountryData result is strings instead of special objects as shown in the video. EntityData is there but fails in 10.0. And so on.
Hmmm... It looks amazing. Reminds me of the classed nature of java except put into one huge class and wolframalpha built into some programming language. The only objections I have towards this is: is this offline, or online? Programmers REALLY like their offline programming languages. If it is online and actually expect this to take off, servers are going to be a big problem and you will have to make this paid or limit some features which will severely impact the popularity of this language. If it is offline, is it really necessary to have all these kinds of maps? If you expect this language to have knowledge in all spheres of sciences and art, it will be hard to pack it into something less than ~50 GBs. A much better feature would be to able to download what you want of the programming language. Small size is also an important factor whether this can be used on mobile devices, a massively popular market. Also, from a language aspect:Is
It's both, try out mathematica, almost all the functions work without an internet connection, even the natural language understanding :). Only when you do a double equals sign at the begining of your equation does mathematica query the cloud (wolframalpha ;)).
How come is Vienna in Western Europe (03:17) It is a typical Central Europe state - the capital of the former Habsburg Empire. Or Athens - the classic Eastern state from where the Cyrillic (adapted Greek) alphabet spread and from where religion (Greek Orthodox church) propagated towards all the Eastern Europe.
I am very worried that Wolfram Language "knows" such things. There are no strict definitions of them. And Mr. Wolfram mixes language with knowledge and tries to put some knowledge (at least his own believes) into the language.,
That is not geography, but culture thing. Italy is technically in southern Europe but we say it is the West. Same for Ukraine being "in the a heart of Europe"... So what is wrong with that? From knowledge how we name things future generations will understand our perception of the world.
Mikolaj Kundegorski That is exactly my point. There is no formal definition, and pretty much everyone agrees it is not geographical, but the individual assignments might vary. See the wikipedia page about it. It is not even clear if the definition applies to formal states or lands/regions. For me the part of Europe which remained under the influence of the Western Roman Empire is now what is Western and Central Europe and what remained under the influence of Byzantium is Eastern. By influence I mean habits, religion, writing etc. And the Western from Central Europe got roughly split during the Reformation when the Central Europe didn't reform and Western did. But for someone like S. Wolfram the distinction might be different, he might define Western Europe based on some much recent events like the signing of the Maastricht agreement or Tehran/Jalta. And each of us might need to decide at some point if the Western Ukraine State is Eastern or Central (i.e. the assignment is not static). I think S. Wolfram does a good job when it comes to operating on mathematical formulas, distributions, functions in Mathematica but he tries to put too much knowledge, and the kind of knowledge of his own. Language != knowledge. Rather than that he would gain more (in my opinion of course) if he did a better work to represent knowledge, for instance if something like GDP(country) was not just a number, but a structure where there is the estimate, and the error bars, and the source of this knowledge, the subjective probability of the belief and let the users or plugins harvest the knowledge.
One of the most amazing technologies and one of the most brilliant minds!

I was first exposed to Mathematica at UIUC in 1991 and it's great to see how things have continued to evolve.
New drinking game: drink every time Stephen says the word "Symbolic"

Cool ! It's a paradise for anyone involved in gathering, analyzing and visualizing data.
This is some amazing technology happening right in front of our eyes. Props.
He seems to have developed a TTS accent.
what makes you think he is a real person and not just a symbolic link to a function of the Wolfram language?

Why did I never hear about this? This is wonderful. If I learned programming with this it would be simpler
Been a fan ever since I met you in person in 1990
Stephen Wolfram keeps amazing constantly. This really is a surprise. I was wondering if it would be a standalone product as its not very clear to me if it would be.
Yea, but can it run crysis?
yes but unfortunately only at 1.25 billion FPS on max settings...
Yes, symbolically!

Only if Crisis has a Perfect Fusion DLC coming out, and it's symbolical in nature.

#wolframlanguage #programming #languages #computerscience #functionalprogramming
Hey John,
I might be down to join a study cohort with you focused on Wolfram Language. Let's chat about how we want to structure our approach soon.
Arguably the best and most complete program in the world.
Wow. I've always wondered how Wolfram Alpha Mathematics worked under the hood, but I had no idea of the complexity of it all. I'm blown away.
The amount the word "symbolic" has been used is astounding. :D But well this is neat stuff!
I feel unprecedentedly stupid now. Thank you.
I feel that. I'm not smart when it comes to this stuff and it's so overwhelming to try to learn
You are not the only one.
I read on Quora that this is the "Mother of all programs." Not bad. :) I'm new to the MMA language, and find it very appealing, certainly in retrospect to MATLAB (which I love very much as well). Great job with the Wolfram platform, Stephen.
So powerful it's almost overwhelming.
That first MAC that had the issue, looks like the RTC battery leaked onto the PCB and started to eat into the video lines that are near to it. I used "Mathematica 1" 30 plus years ago. Loved it then and still love it today.
Ambitious and intuitive. Can't wait to check it out.
MAN THIS IS SO POWERFUL SO GOOD I AM STARTING RIGHT NOW
Is it me or did the world just change?
Awesome! That's how programming should look like.
There is a time and place for both low level programming and high level programming. This abstraction is deep but powerful. Wherever it may be useful, I'm not sure, but I'm sure people will find great ways to put it to use.
I've not found a use for it yet.
What IDE do you use for this? Does Wolfram provide one for free, or is there a plugin to Eclipse or something like that?
I'm going to use this for all my embedded PIC projects! What's the superfunction for toggling an LED?
This is going to change the world. Hands down.
Fantastic! Looking forward to exploring what seems might be a very deep rabbit hole.

Why did I learn about this only now? I must have been living under a rock ;-)
Amazing, I always liked Mathematica, because it is symbolic and for its design.

What would be an elegant FizzBuzz solution in the Wolfram Language? Given its focus on numbers and lists it should do well.
very cool. but how do you get started? maybe i missed it but i don't see a link to SDK or libraries on reference.wolfram.com/language/.
I'm a stupid.
Still: this feels like a Python/Perl/Ruby-fan explaining why Python/Perl/Ruby is so amazing.
It's not the language, it's the libraries, it's the engine/compiler/runtime... or I'm even more stupid than I think.
I have the same opinion
Yeah, but some libraries can't be made in those languages because its so hard to represent expression trees with symbols.
@@aoeu256 this thing is literally written in C
Great Works ! and excellent idea to make videos to resume Wolfram features!
Well done to Stephen and the whole Wolfram team!
Things are going to start changing very quickly.
Thanks, Stephen, it looks very good.
Truly next level programming
Can't believe this doesn't have more views. It's insane.
And equally insane that Wolfram is bundled with Raspberry Pi.
And thus, SkyNet was born.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh YOU JINXED IT
Skynet went live in the 80's

This will go down in history as one of the most game-changing computing (and knowledge) advancements ever. It will catalyse scientific progress.
The geography alone is awesome, and so much more

Richard! Yes...amazing.
very nice idea to make us activate camera and then having to do a google search on how to release the camera from mathematica! - wolfram alpha did not return the release instructions; google search did though :)
This is pretty mind-blowing.
Absolutely beautiful, removing the overhead from a tool designed purely for computation by using the functional paradigm.
No fair. The latest release of Mathematica is 9.0.1, which doesn't have many of these operations (RandomColor, Blend that works on images, Sunset, EntityData). I have a Raspberry Pi with a preview version of 10.0, with the latest updates applied, which also doesn't have all of these functions (Sunset, for example).

The CountryData result is strings instead of special objects as shown in the video. EntityData is there but fails in 10.0. And so on.
This is really awesome! a whole lot of possibilities! when is it going to come out??
unbelievable effort!
I work in NLP, and this is the biggest deal of all deals.
The video is SYMBOLIC!
When can I have this much power Mr.Wolfram??
Impressive really ! huge effort !
Extremely.
My first worries are that the syntax will be fragile, and that it will be slow, but I'm interested to play with it.
My worry is that to know how to take advantage of all the stuff packed in there, you basically have to be Stephen Wolfram (also, hi Matt!)
Levi Dettwyler Do you work for Wolfram?
I'm intrigued.
The library for this language must absolutely immense and it seems rather complex. Wow...
I see this is available for the Raspberry Pi. That gives me a project for my Pi.
www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/
I think it's all accessed through the Wolfram Alpha API though I'm not sure yet how it works. I hope to explore it in more detail soon.
i admit that this wolfram guy is brilliant, but he takes the brilliance out of coding.
It's incredibly amazing.
any updates on that? im thinking about starting to learn coding. this looks interesting

Okey, that is fair point. I think it might benefit from projects like www.gapminder.org/
Now how do I download this?
This blew my mind somewhat
Are there any good tutorials on how to create a symbolic language or the theory behind them?
I am looking for the same thing. Lemme know if you have found it and I will do the same.
@Wolfram I love you
this is really impressive, can someone tell me if this program going to be open source? Or is it a software that has to be purchased?
sorry for late reply :( Purchased!
