I've been trying to implement a open source version of the Wolfram language for FenixEdu but is extremely hard. For the most part is possible as long you don't use stuff that depends of proprietary data sets. Also, after 30 years working on it, it is quite faster than anything else.
I truly would like to see the community come up with a open source version of it, but with such a huge size, the language would be near impossible for one single individual to implement a compatible version.
- mbrzusto 11y agodone! it's based on Macsyma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macsyma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macsyma which is now Maxima http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_%28software%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_%28software%29
- gohrt 11y agoMaxima seems very similar to Mathematica in principle. What does Mathematica have in favor? Far more mathematician/engineer-hours invested due to early (and then compounded) financial success?
- sn6uv 11y agoThere's also Mathics (I'm one of the maintainers). > but with such a huge size, the language would be near impossible for one single individual to implement a compatible version. As a single individual who has tried, yes it's impossible but a subset is doable.
