mathematica has gotta be the language/framework/whatever with the highest (dev hours)/(nicheness) ratio out there. i have no clue who's paying for this (other than a few academics) such that they have enough money to pay for enough devs to continue to polish/improve. i'm vaguely aware some quantfi type people use it but it's gotta be such a small group that either they're paying through the nose for those licenses or there's some other customer segment i'm not aware of.
