Wolfram Language

Multi-Paradigm Language

The Wolfram Language is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language developed by Wolfram Research, serving as the underlying programming language of the Mathematica computational software system since its first release in 1988 and later published as a standalone language in its own right in 2013. The Wolfram Language is built around symbolic expressions as its single unifying data structure, supports functional, rule-based and procedural programming styles, and includes an unusually large standard library spanning mathematics, data science, visualization, machine learning and natural language processing, all directly callable from the language itself.
