It’s certainly the best of the symbolic computational tools that I’ve tried. However, my problem with such tools is that that they work great for simple examples in my experience but scaling them to work with non-trivial systems is rough. It may be user error on my part, but the path between simple and complex is non-obvious.
- peatmoss 3y agoI wonder if LLMs will provide a robust path from the solid symbolic computation of Mathematica to production or productionizable code. I've seen stories show up on HN about using LLMs to e.g. transform Cobol -> Java, and have my suspicions about how and where that kind of translation could fall down with today's LLMs. Nevertheless, I assume LLM enabled translators will improve rapidly, and that a product like Mathematica could be very well suited for translating from a prototype to a robust implementation for e.g. HPC.
