I'm willing to admit I lack imagination or vision here. I think the lack of killer examples to sort of show me the way here is hobbling me. Wolfram's demo video was interesting but viewed to me more like a demo of a fancy calculator than a path towards a new way of doing development. I have a drawer full of fancy calculators I don't use because my need to "compute" things in such a general sense as presented here is pretty rare, or is so narrow in scope that I can usually just go hunt down the relevant information myself in less time than it takes to learn all of this new stuff.

I'll probably wait on the sidelines for a while and wait to see what kinds of things come out of this work.

Please take my skepticism as a healthy challenge and not as dismissal. The day the Wolfram language shows me something that fundamentally transforms some aspect of my life I didn't know needed transforming, I'll sign up.
