Would this combined with a local Mathematica server result in a free Mathematica like experience?

#13As someone who occasionally dabbles in Mathematica for creative coding, using WLJS finally made me enjoy writing Wolfram code.
Their free "cloud" is so slow I'd find writing BASIC on a C64 more enjoyable while their desktop offering costs so much money that it crosses into the territory of hardware budgets.
Aside from the occasional missing widgets and bugs, it's fast, modern, and entirely local. If anyone wants for any reason wants/needs to use Mathematica, I'd recommend this as the least bad way to do so.

#14WHAT A LEGEND. This solves most of the problems I have with Wolfram Cloud.
Now we just need a FOSS reimplementation of wolframscript that can also run in the browser. Unfortunately, Mathics' one[1] is written in Python.

#15Except that it doesn't work:
> No active Kernel is attached
While running wolframscript from the shell does work.
Do I need a Mathematica activation key?

#16Have any data scientists moved from R or Python to Wolfram? Curious to know if it can do anything better? I'd consider checking it out, if only to dabble and learn more about it. (from a ~30 second search online, unlike python and R which are free, I think wolfram is about $439/year. source: https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/pricing/home-hobby/ )
Would you move from Postgresql to Oracle?
It depends what you mean by "data science", but for stats, R or Origin (also expensive) would be better. Matlab (another paid option) is typically used for for numerical work (e.g. signal analysis). Mathematica is best at symbolic stuff.
