#5Where's the source code? Is this something like CDF that can be only used from Wolfram's binary blob plugin/exes?
If they don't release the sources for the compiler/interpreter it will be as popular as their Computable Document Format.

Would be interesting a real introductory video this is much like an infomercial, though a good infomercial.

It is. This is just a description of the language used in Mathematica. Since they are also releasing other products that use the same core language, it looks like they are presenting it in a product-neutral form, but it is just the language of Mathematica.

#10Has the language grown much faster in recent years? I coded some microarray data analysis in Mathematica at one point a few years ago, and was very disappointed in the slow execution, it made it unusable.
It may have been a "naive" implementation that could be much improved, but a similarly naive Java implementation was much faster and not significantly more difficult to write.
