In Mathematica/Wolfram Languege, the part 0 of an expression is reserved for the head of the expression: f[x, y, z][[0]] == f. Or g[f][x, y][[0, 1]] == f.

I am also trying to learn wasm via the zig route:

* A minimal example showing how HTML5's canvas, wasm memory and zig can interact: https://github.com/daneelsan/minimal-zig-wasm-canvas

* This mini game shows how Zig, WASM, Javascript and HTML5 canvas can interact: https://github.com/daneelsan/Dodgeballz

* WEFX is a simple graphics drawing package using Zig, WASM, and an HTML canvas: https://github.com/daneelsan/zig-wefx

There is a difference between online education because there is no other way as there is a pandemic (are the students and the institution ready to switch to online, are the courses even designed to be imparted online, etc.), and online education because it's a choice.

Would it be profitable, though?

I'm not sure why comments mention CA. His physics theory and the multicomputation stuff does not make use of CA's (at least no more than any other abstract machine).

Didn't he invent a numbering schema for classifying CA? That should count as an achievement.

> it's nothing more than noodling cellular automata in ways that have had no effect whatsoever on chemistry, physics, or biology.

I mean, you could at least read a bit about what his Multicomputation stuff is really studying. CA are not being noodled there.

Simple rules do not necessarily mean simple behavior. Explore where observation leads in various different systems and rules.

It has GC, e.g. DataStructures (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/DataStructures....) are GC'd. IIRC it uses refcounting for this.

Tom is the current main developer of the new Wolfram Compiler. Search in YouTube "wolfram compiler" and you'll see almost all the talks are his.
