Wolfram Engine is now open to developers (translation)

    May 21, 2019 Wolfram Researh announced that they gave Wolfram Engine access to all software developers. You can download it and use it in your non-commercial projects at the link


    The free Wolfram Engine for developers gives them the ability to use the Wolfram Language on any development stack. The Wolfram Language, which is available as a sandbox, is a multi-paradigmal computing language that underlies the most famous Wolfram products: Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha. The free Wolfram Engine also has full access to the Wolfram Knowledge Base and its pre-trained neural networks. But to use it, you need to sign up for a free Wolfram Cloud subscription .


    "The goal of the free Wolfram engine for developers is to make it easier for everyone to use the Wolfram Language in any project and to create systems that take advantage of its computational intelligence," said computer information specialist and founder Stephen Wolfram on his blog , where he announces the project . He explains that Wolfram Language, especially in conjunction with Mathematica, is widely used for research, data science, and education. The goal of opening the Wolfram Engine is to increase the use of the Wolfram language among developers of software products and applications (and, of course, increase the number of paid subscriptions for Wolfram's Desktop- and cloud options).


    According to VentureBeat , Wolfram Alpha celebrated its 10th anniversary last week. The Wolfram Engine, which is located under the hood of the Wolfram Alpha, is a computer knowledge engine that responds to specific requests by retrieving data from the Wolfram knowledge base. It, for example, is used in DuckDuckGo and Microsoft Bing search engines, as well as when performing computational queries in Apple's Amazon Alexa and Siri.


    “The most important thing is the realization that the Wolfram Language in its current form is really a new thing: a full-blown computational language. Yes, it is an extremely powerful and productive programming language, and even much more. Because it has a unique feature, which that it has a huge amount of computational knowledge built in: knowledge of algorithms, knowledge of the real world, knowledge of how to automate things, "says Wolfram. "The goal of Wolfram Language is simple, though ambitious: everything should be right here in the language, and should be as automatic as possible."
