Hi, I'm the main developer. We're steadily getting closer to the next release which will support most features of Mathematica 1.0 plus some of the most popular newer functions (> 900 overall!). AMA!
Why would I use this and not Wolfram Script? Better license? Allowed for commercial operations?

Mathematica is proprietary software. Any reimplementation is better than nothing at all, at least for people that don't run proprietary software
Useless thing is not less useless by the virtue of being FOSS. That's something FOSS folks have yet to understand. All the best to the author, they definitely have fun doing this, but I've seen enough of such attempts. Having agents doesn't make much difference.

To be fair, we also couldn’t tell for sure if they hand-wrote the code.
If they hand wrote the code we know they at least looked at it once.
My Bona fides: I've written my own Mathematica clone at least twice, maybe three times. Each time I get it parsing expressions and doing basic math, getting to basic calculus. Then I look up the sheer cliff face in front of me and think better of the whole thing. There is an architectural flaw in Woxi that will sink it hard. Looking through the codebase things like polynomials are implemented in the rust code, not in…
I noticed the same thing, having also written an interpreter for the Wolfram language that focused on the core rule/rewriting/pattern language. At its heart it’s more or less a Lisp-like language where the core can be quite small and a lot of the functionality built via pattern matching and rewriting atop that. Aside from the sheer scale of WL, I ended up setting aside my experiments replicating it when I did perform…
and when I say prompting, I just mean code review feedback. All of this is engineering management. I review code. I’ll point out architectural flaws if they matter and I use judgement to determine if they matter. Code debt is a choice, and you can afford it in some situations but not others. We don’t nit over style because we have a linter. Better documentation results in better contribution quality. etc.
Agent coordination? Gastown? All I hear is organizational design and cybernetics

How does it compare to mathics? How close is it to being able to run rubi: https://rulebasedintegration.org/ ?
You can find the whole integration routine here https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi/blob/36343ab2cbc97e5081f7c811e... . It's essentially a test mock-up (not even trying partial fraction decomposition for rational functions).
// ∫ tan(x) dx = -ln|cos(x)| - not implemented (requires Log)

implementing addition in woxilang itself?? this gotta be terribly slow. am i missing something?
Mathematica has symbolic and infinite-precision addition, so you can't automatically take advantage of obvious compiled code.

You are missing the term "JIT", which would enable a host of runtime optimizations which include generating calls to some static piece of native code which performs addition.
