[dba-Tech] Steve Wolfram Does It Again

Hi Arthur:

Isn't the concept of a object/symbolic language incredible? 

It may not be a concept fully embraced today by the developer community. But I remember working in assembler (also various macro languages) and now looking at all the other high level languages that consume very complex functions, it does seem like this a component in next level in programming evolution.

Interesting to note that the language will be a installed, by default, on the RaspberryPi. Perfectly positioned as a educational tool for our future young high-level programmers. Ahhh, another StarTrek moment :-)

I've long been a fan of Steve's, going way back even before "A New Kind of
Science" to the math stuff, but now he's tackled programming languages.
This guy is not lacking in the realm of imagineering.
