Ask HN: Is anyone running Mathematica/Wolfram Language in production?
I’ve been a huge fan of Mathematica as a tool for more than twenty years now, using it mostly for prototyping and analysis in notebooks. I’d love to be able to use it as part of a backend for a web app, but it’s unclear if this is even possible given Wolfram’s licensing restrictions. Has anyone here gone down that rabbit hole, or did you end up reimplementing things in an open language?
- wendyshu 2y agoPerformance, interoperability, and maintainability of large codebases are issues. Mathematica really is specialized for notebook use.
- sbrother 2y agoYeah I would agree with this. I wish more effort would be put into production use-cases though, as it's incredible how flexibly and concisely you can implement complex ideas with it.
