Woxi is a Rust-based open-source reimplementation of the Wolfram Language with a Mathematica-like GUI, CLI, Jupyter kernel, and cross-platform support. It emphasizes fast startup times (milliseconds vs seconds), embeddability via WASM, and free/open-source licensing, backed by ~26,000 unit tests for compatibility.
Background
Wolfram Language (Mathematica) is a powerful computational language dominated by Wolfram Research's proprietary software. Open-source alternatives and reimplementations have long been desired by the community for cost and flexibility reasons.
