Show HN: Woxi - A Rust-based interpreter for a subset of the Wolfram Language (github.com/ad-si)
11 points by adius 20 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | discuss
Mathematica is an incredible piece of software, and the Wolfram Language is actually quite pleasant to use once you get used to the syntax.

Unfortunately, the high licensing costs of Mathematica make it inaccessible to many people, and therefore (in my opinion) worse solutions like Python, R, and Jupyter have become the default.

Due to the sheer size of Mathematica (over 6000 functions!), it is impossible for me to rebuild it from scratch alone. Please join me in rebuilding it one PR at a time so we can finally make it accessible to everyone!
