Wolfram language is the easy part to implement
Its standard library is almost impossible to reproduce in its enterity
If those libraries were like regular code that got published to Github or something like that.. like pypi or npm or crates.io or whatever. And if mathematica had a lean standard library. It would be very feasible to implement a clone that's basically compatible
I mean. Depending on just wolfram rather than random open source contributors has benefits, for example it's more resistant to supply chain attacks. Indeed the npm model is not good. But, it is open, and that's what enabled for example deno and bun to have some compatibility with node

- nextaccountic 4mo agoTbh I fully expect someone to get the proprietary Mathematica code and somehow launder it through LLMs and pretend whatever outuput is not legally a derivative work from the original code, and then does not need to be bound by Mathematica license and can be its own open source project Like the following dudes who are doing this, but to a project that is already open source (git): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48468904 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48468904 Except that Wolfram would of course sue and we might as well see what the courts has to say about this topic
