'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,' Wolfram said. 'I'm a great believer in the importance of programming as a central component of education. In addition, the company also is including the first public prototype version of a new product, Wolfram Language.
