People did useful work with Mathematica on the computers of 35 years ago.
They had a tiny fraction of an RPi's compute. Maybe because interesting mathematics is more the product of interested mathematicians rather than hardware.
With Mathematica around for 35 years, there's evidence that it has a sustainable model with regard to popularity.
- qwerty456127 4y agoI knew real science stars who ran Mathematica on 486 with huge success. But that's a different story. This project targets hobbyists and kids educating themselves and this normally involves watching YouTube tutorials/lectures and googling information up. For some people this can be good and teach them patience, for many this will be an obstacle and divert them to alternatives. Mathematica is great but has keep the competition in mind. I am afraid it will decline heavily sooner or later.
