2021-03-11 Xah Lee ​ello BartholomewJS ​Greetings. Xah Lee ​hi bart Xah Lee ​people, say hi Xah Lee ​ask questions about Mathematica BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee You're alive. ZitronCrazy ​Hello, Xah Lee Oleg Marakhovsky ​Hello, Xah Dizziness ​hi xah, where would you like to travel in the world? have you done some roadtripping or do you plan something? Angus Zhang ​good evening BartholomewJS ​@Dizziness I think he wants to focus on Mathematica this episode. 🙂 Oleg Marakhovsky ​I believe there should be a package for it :D Oleg Marakhovsky ​You forgot to put `return` Oleg Marakhovsky ​is it possible to run Mathematica in production? Mark Olenik ​Hello! BartholomewJS ​I think "declarative" would be more suited than "API". BartholomewJS ​The whole point of functional programming is that it is declarative. Syed Ali ​Hi Xah where’s your eye patch breaktheloop ​you misspelled density Cammil Taank ​you are misspelling Density Mark Olenik ​How does Mathematica compare to other popular languages in terms of speed, parallel computation etc? breaktheloop ​Lorraine, my density has brought me to you. Potato Eater ​hi xah! Oleg Marakhovsky ​I'm seeing Mathematica in action for the first time and it looks really impressive. I have no idea how they implemented this symbolic computation tjor ​[message retracted] tjor ​[message retracted] breaktheloop ​hah, the slider is cool Oleg Marakhovsky ​Anyway the plot does not stay the same when you move the slider, the change is instantenious olaf k ​Hi Xah, would you recommend Mathematica also as a general purpose programming language? Do you see shortcomings in it? Juhani ​what do you think of R Ernests Kuzņecovs ​Have you seen Mr Wolfram doing live CEOing on twitch Ernests Kuzņecovs ​Which branch of maths gives these sort of constructs? Juan B ​Hi Xah , do you see in the long term , 30 or 40 years , mathematica still being used ? , as Fortran or C is used? Ernests Kuzņecovs ​Cool, thanks
