Maybe it could have then been positioned as portable mathematica + cool data sets.
BTW: I don't get all the contempt for Wolfram. He's accomplished more than most (all?) of us. I think he's entitled to as many mistakes and delusions as it takes in between accomplishments. And we'd all do better if we followed his example, of optimistic experimenting.
- ovi256 17y agoHe's the last of many of a long tradition of mathematicians that thought their mathematical work to be the solution to everything. A bit grandiose in his claims.
- coderdude 17y agoI've read criticisms that he makes it appear as though certain ideas are of his own creation, but beyond that, I think the guy is quite brilliant. His work on cellular automata as Turing machines is very intriguing. I think more people should give him his due.
