I loved using Mathematica in college. It was the first programming language I ever really used to make some cool things. I wish it was more accessible. I think one of the requirements of my dream job would be a work place that uses Mathematica.
It's really fun reading through "code golf" challenges where other languages take 10-15 lines for something that Mathematica has a built in for.

- SonOfLilit 8y agoDid you just say "code golf" and Mathematica in the same sentence? Then you will love these. I own like 10 copies, which I give to people for their birthdays: http://adereth.github.io/blog/2017/11/02/playing-with-wolfram-playing-cards/ http://adereth.github.io/blog/2017/11/02/playing-with-wolfra...
- owenversteeg 8y agoOh, those are quite cool. I'll have to get a pack sometime. I also think the Executed Today deck looks pretty cool (totally different card subject)
