Interesting. I wonder where's the hook.
I don't know if other people are irked by this, but Wolfram begins
most of his "sentences" with conjunctions, namely "and" and "but".
Consequently they are almost all sentence fragments.
He seems to have decided to call the "language" the "Wolfram Language".
Modest.
I had a different proposal.//I sent it to the newsgroup
comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica
but I suspect it was deleted....
Here's the text..
Oh also a name should naturally honor Stephen Himself, the
Inventor, copyright holder, and owner of the world's best computer
programming language.
What features could be emphasized in a name? Perhaps a short list
of good candidates for acronym initials....
Applications
Expressions, Evaluation
Graphics
Functions, Forms
Objects,
Rules, Recursion
Transformations, Trees
AEGFORT has the letters alphabetically.
GREATFO
FORGETA
TAFORGE
ROGFATE
FORTAGE
and my favorite, one which combines all these features,
and expresses the essence of what that language means to
Stephen Wolfram and simultaneously reflects what it looks
like to programming language experts...
