Exactly. Implementing the language is one thing. Mathics does it well. But implementing the vast library is much harder. (Though the essentials are possible as proved by Mathics.) Let alone assembling the countless example data it comes with.
Also nitpick but you can run Wolfram code without Mathematica directly using the Wolfram Engine.
- bdowling 4y agoThank you for mentioning Mathics, https://mathics.org/ https://mathics.org/.
- cultofmetatron 4y agomathics seems really cool. I was thinking of biting the bullet and buying a copy of mathematica since I'm teaching myself higher level math and want a a language that does symbolic computation. Needing to pull a docker file to run seems like a bit of a pain though...
- forgotpwd16 4y agoYou could also try Wolfram Cloud. Only significant issues a free account has is the inability to upload (so cannot use found notebooks unless you retype everything yourself) and files expiring (becoming unavailable unless you pay) after 60 days. But give Mathics a chance first.
