Knowledge-Based Programming with Stephen Wolfram

Listen Later

“The cloud as an environment – I had thought it was a purely utilitarian kind of thing. What I realized is that it’s a fascinating centralized repository of computation.”

Wolfram Research makes computing software powered by the Wolfram language, a knowledge-based programming language that draws from symbolic and functional programming paradigms.

Stephen Wolfram is the Founder and CEO of Wolfram Research, and also the author of A New Kind of Science.
