WolframLang 14, Notes

By Xah Lee. Date: .

currently reading wolfram on WolframLang 14.

typically, this is release notes of a software. In the wolfram case, it's basically a small thesis, entailing lots of things and history of math, computing, and science.

There is a section on the ai chat bots. (which am reading in depth to get details of WolframLang's integration, and consequences of AI, etc.) (by the way, Wolfram's essay is usually with an encompasing perspective. there are other essays on latest happening with ai chat bots aka llm, but the quality ones, e.g. typically academic papers, really are just esoteric and technical, no general perspective. While those discussing over all consequence of ai, usually actually lack the depth or math know-how.)

there is a section on what's going on with calculus, in past decades.

there is a section on “core language”, i.e. design of a lang, what core functions to add.

there is a section on processing videos. typically not seen in any programing language, except tools like ffmpeg.

there is a section on trees. in particular, drawing trees. A classic hard problem.

there is a section on math, finite fields. (i had to lookup what they are.)

A section on astronomy. Chemistry molecules, system engineering, multi- dimensional partial differential equations. and on computer graphics textures and GPU. I have not read yet. This is so far just half of the article.

i counted, 15k words.

An actual example, of ai chatbots eg chatgpt, effects real world. Here, in programing language design. (from stephen wolfram's blog on Mathematica v14)
