Wolfram language never cease to amaze me with how it manages to introduce mind-blowing features that are not possible everywhere else without introducing any syntax. In today's episode: wrap a resource-intensive computation in this function, and it'll magically happen on our enchanted cloud computers; there will be an email notification. Truly awesome. Sometimes I envy scientists because they have a reason to use tools like Wolfram.

Go is not an easy programming language. It is simple in many ways: the syntax is simple, most of the semantics are simple. But a language is more than just syntax; it’s about doing useful stuff. And doing useful stuff is not always easy in Go.

the best languages to learn today for the next 20 year are: golang, PowerShell, Mathematica.

Про голянг понятно. Про остальное:

PowerShell or the pwsh, is far better shell than bash and unix bag friends.
Mathematica, is the programing language far beyond any other in the computing industry. A magnitude beyond all existing. It is more than a programing language, because it is really a computational knowledge base. Asides from math functions, such as solving equations or integration symbolically and hundreds other special math functions only a handful mathematician understands, it also embodies just about every practical algorithm in computer science. So, given a algorithm, you might write it in lang X for a hour or days, but Mathematica has it as part of the language, just call a function. Mathematica has few thousand functions builtin, not even needing to load a library.
