Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed one of the great achievements of our civilization over the past several centuries has been to build up the paradigms of mathematics, the exact sciences—and, most importantly, now computation—and to create a tower of capabilities quite different from what pure human-like thinking can achieve. I think about things as a human.

Unveiling Julia: A Quantum Leap in High-Performance Coding Languages

STEMe

Or how about something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, and as good at gluing programs together as the shell? This makes Julia perfect for demanding tasks like scientific computing, data analysis, and machine learning.
