Wolfram, the company, has not been doing well over the last decade or so. This is a known fact and a lot of advocates of that clan will downvote the bitter truth.
This company is after all the most toxic one in good o’l Illinois.
The product is being marginalised slowly but gradually. With real open source and free solutions.
Besides, It’s not a serious solution or fit for anything other than doing some rough calculation or work in an area. If you are an expert in image processing a good chance is that there is some standard open source solution in place that outperforms this closed source solution by a factor of X in terms of speed.
Its usage and importance is greatly overhyped by the company, well almost anything with the name tag wolfram attached is hype to begin with. This might have pulled in the 1980’s and 1990’s but jezz that not where we are at now.
How much of a megalomaniac one has to be clears any suspicion when one looks at its name.
I concede on one point, for the average (low skilled) developer that has no serious background in programming, this might be or THE (only) solution. Then again I doubt how competitive such a developer can stay ...
But for anything mission critical, why on earth would I or for that matter any company rely on a closed source solution ?
Also wary of how much information is send from your end to wolfram . Notice that every 2 weeks ur license will have to be reactivated via a special wolfram server bondage .
All said, not quite.
The question remains, why make so much hype about “ oh there so many reasons we won’t open source” and now “ oh , we are so cool , we provide free wolfram “ . Dude make up ur mind in what direction ur business model pivots and then bother us .
It is a known fact that Wolfie thinks of most hackernews users as roaches. This quote is from someone else.
Oh gosh. What an unfortunate choice of words . Mr wolfram this is so brilliant I am peeing myself into my panties. Seems like you reached another dead end choice . Company hasn’t been doing well now for a while and needed some more hackernews publicity ?
Please spare us from more stories ...
