I applaud calling the language Mathematica, despite Stephen Mathematica's attempts to rename it a couple of years ago.

It's a more mature and complete reimplementation of Mathematica, though still miles behind the original.



Unfortunately when Wolfram hired Mathics' lead developer, the project pretty much stopped.


When was that?

The project seems to have had a decent level of contributions for the last couple of years.


It seems to have been restarted, which is good. But for a while (look at the the 2017-2020 gap) there was basically nothing done to it and for a while it was impossible to run on current versions of Python.


Mathematica is the application. Wolframlang is the language. They are both extremely impressive each in their way, but they aren the same.


The name of the program is ts-wolfram.


Probably just one of those cute auto generated names like "interestingalpacagoose"
