Putting the Wolfram Language (and Mathematica) On Every Raspberry Pi 99
An anonymous reader writes "Working with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, effective immediately, there's a pilot release of the Wolfram Language — as well as Mathematica—that will soon be bundled as part of the standard system software for every Raspberry Pi computer. Quite soon the Wolfram Language is going to start showing up in lots of places, notably on the web and in the cloud."

Isn't the web a "cloud" in of itself?
Why not just release it for the home users too? (Score:1, Interesting)
Why not just release Mathematica for the home users too? There are hundreds of millions of potential users out there who would love to have Mathematica for non-commercial use on their home computers. It would benefit Wolfram tremendously to have such a huge user base that knows his software, instead of just a fraction of anoraks that happen to work in universities or as engineers.
If it's the full Mathematica on Pi, though, I'd probably have to buy one just for that. The home version is several hundred bucks, which is too much for something that I'd just be puttering around with.

Wolfram is so desperate to make his abortion of a programming language be popular that he needs to borrow from the trendiness of the Raspberry Pi.
