The Wolfram Language is a general
It includes built-in functions for generating and running
Wolfram Language's core principles that differentiate it from other programming languages includes a built-in knowledgebase, automation in the form of meta-algorithms and superfunctions, a coherently elegant design and structure, built-in natural language understanding, and representation of everything as a symbolic expression.[10]
The Wolfram language was released for the
Naming
The language was officially named in June 2013 although, as the programming language of Mathematica, it has been in use in various forms for over 30 years since Mathematica's initial release.[7][17] Before 2013, it was internally referred to by several names, such as "M" and "Wolfram Language." Other possible names Wolfram Research considered include "Lingua" and "Express."[8]
In popular culture
Both Stephen Wolfram and his son Christopher Wolfram were involved in helping create the alien language for the film Arrival, for which they used the Wolfram Language.[18] They were given portions of the written language, and used Wolfram Language to analyze the images and attempt to interpret them. This served as the model for how the characters approached the problem in the film.
Beginning in 2017, Wolfram began to
