![]() ![]() ![]() And, as usual, we’ve put a lot of effort into coherently designing those functions, so they fit into the tightly integrated framework we’ve been building for the past 35 years. For the past several years we’ve been following the principle of open code development (does anyone else do this yet?)-opening up our core software design meetings as livestreams. During the Version 13.2 cycle we’ve done about 61 hours of design livestreams-getting all sorts of great real-time feedback from the community (thanks, everyone!). Yes, the Wolfram Language (and Wolfram|Alpha) have had astronomical data for well over a decade.Īnd, yes, we’re holding steady at an overall average of one hour of livestreamed design time per new function, and a little less than half that per enhanced function.Īstronomy has been a driving force for computation for more than 2000 years (from the Antikythera device on)… and in Version 13.2 it’s coming to Wolfram Language in a big way. ![]() But what’s new now is astronomical computation fully integrated into the system. In many ways, our astro computation capabilities are modeled on our geo computation ones. But astro is substantially more complicated. Mountains don’t move (at least perceptibly), but planets certainly do. Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. And on the Earth, latitude and longitude are good standard ways to describe where things are. ![]()
