Although it is possible to make games in Mathematica, it is a painful process.
At the Wolfram Technology Conference two years ago, I met some startup founders who were using Mathematica for some big data projects. It works great for people as a tool to use in the background for visualization and data analysis, but it's definitely not at the stage where a startup thinks "I'm going to deploy Mathematica to the cloud" or "let's build our interface with Mathematica" the same way they think about Ruby on Rails or JavaScript.
- DanielBMarkham 13y agoYeah I really like where I think it is, but it still has that "mad genius" feel to it, where one guy explains how awesome it is and you're left kind of empty-handed. Want to see a lot more eyeballs on this and people playing with it. Hope Wolfram doesn't let "licensing fever" get in the way of the community understanding it fully.
