There's a Mathematica 10 now, already? Interesting. I'm still a happy 8 user, myself. Is there much reason to upgrade? It'd probably be good for them to pay

There's a Mathematica 10 now, already? Interesting. I'm still a happy 8 user, myself. Is there much reason to upgrade? It'd probably be good for them to pay more attention to backwards compatibility...

I think he is confused. Wolfram's site only has Mathematica 9 listed

    That is what I meant, but I guess I look like the fool now. I still don't see that Mathematica 10 has been released, but I guess it is close.

      It hasn't been released, but you can effectively get it on a Raspberry Pi: http://wolfram.com/raspi http://wolfram.com/raspi

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that v. 10 has not yet been released but is in common use internally at Wolfram.

10 has Association expressions [1], which are a huge language addition (and long overdue). Seems there is some synchrony with Erlang on that front! The features I'm most excited about in 10 (disclosure: my team is working on some of these): [2] String, XML, file templating [3] Hands-free machine learning [4] Entity and EntityValue: semantic "hooks" to represent real world entities [5] Dataset, a general data modelling and query framework. Also, DateObject, TimeObject, interaction with external processes, multiple undo, a large number of updated data sources, the ExternalService "meta-api", device connections, time series stuff, GeoGraphics, and a long list of no less worthy features.

  Nice to see all the WolframAlpha features being brought over. I'd completely missed Entity and Dataset. Any chance you'll be including the templating features in the RPi version?
  - taliesinb 13y ago
    Yup, although there is a bit of design change from the templating in the RPi version.
