I've just come to accept Stephen Wolfram's "air" of superiority to just that. If you parse it away as a vibe, he is a genuinely curious and invested person, that has stuck to their peculiar vision for more than 3 decades, and puts his money where his mouth is. Every design session of the wolfram language is streamed on youtube, which is pretty incredible to watch. I'm sad that the pricing / licensing makes wolfram products so hard if not impossible to shill in a professional setting, because I think it is a genuinely unique product in the sea of overall uninspired and mediocre takes on what computing could be. The wolfram conference is one of the most fun conferences I attend.
