Hello,<br><br> <a href="http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/05/01/the-secret-behind-the-computational-engine-in-wolframalpha/">http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/05/01/the-secret-behind-the-computational-engine-in-wolframalpha/</a> <<< this is obviously a Wolfram Inc. blog so maybe not totally objective ... but here is a snippet that speaks in Haskell's favor:<br>
<br><p>As a result, the five million lines of <em>Mathematica</em> code
that make up Wolfram|Alpha are equivalent to many tens of millions of
lines of code in a lower-level language like C, Java, or Python.</p>
<em><br>I am some what familiar with Mathematica and it's multi-paradigm nature (like F#, OCaml, etc.). In any case, I would like the Haskell community to view WolframAlpha as a challenge. For what is it worth I presently cabalizing Swish .... Based on my reading of WolframAlpha it is a semantic web ... i.e. formal knowledge representation!<br>
