If scientists can build computational models and test ideas in a significantly easier way, then this is definitely an important project.
Wolfram has a large following in the academic world and improvements to his product line can turn into real results.
- gh02t 13y agoI wouldn't say Wolfram himself has a large following in the sciences. At least in my area (math and engineering) he is actually widely and heavily criticized. However, some of the things his company makes are widely used. Mathematica is a genuinely wonderful tool (if you have deep pockets) and Alpha is also very popular.
