And then being able to scale up larger and larger. Writing a tiny program, perhaps not even a line long, and already having something really interesting happen. It’s tremendously satisfying-and educational. We’ve got a language that’s not mostly concerned with the details of computers, but is instead about being able to understand and create things on the basis of huge amounts of built-in computational ability and knowledge. And I’m excited that with the Wolfram Language I think we finally have a powerful programming language worthy of the next generation. I’m a great believer in the importance of programming as a central component of education. But I’m excited that the timing has worked out so that we’re able to give the Raspberry Pi community-with its emphasis on education and invention-the very first chance to put the Wolfram Language into action. Quite soon the Wolfram Language is going to start showing up in lots of places, notably on the web and in the cloud. In effect, this is a technology preview: it’s an early, unfinished, glimpse of the Wolfram Language. Today I’m pleased to announce a step in that direction: working with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, effective immediately there’s a pilot release of the Wolfram Language-as well as Mathematica-that will soon be bundled as part of the standard system software for every Raspberry Pi computer. Last week I wrote about our large-scale plan to use new technology we’re building to inject sophisticated computation and knowledge into everything.
