As I read on and on, my mind was increasingly blown. The possibilities that Wolfram Language enables are staggering.<p>There are so many levels to this:<p>1. An elegant and flexible way of combining, aggregating, manipulating, visualising and doing statistical analysis on data from a huge range of domains. That&#x27;s already pretty cool.<p>2. Built-in connection to the real world through the vast knowledge base of Wolfram Alpha<p>3. Interpretation of natural language input to create entities representing things in the real-world (like people, places, events, etc.) on the fly<p>4. Built-in algorithms like classifiers that just work on whatever input you give them!<p>5. Built-in connections to APIs for things like social media services and I&#x27;m sure a lot more coming<p>6. The ability to create a UI, publish, deploy on the fly using the same kind of symbolic manipulation as everything else in the language<p>7. And most stunning of all, that it&#x27;s all wrapped up in a single elegant framework so that all these different things can be manipulated in similar ways and connected to each other.<p>And this is just the starting point. Imagine what will happen when a community can contribute to it and we can build on each other&#x27;s work.
