Sure, but you've got to start somewhere! And with the amount of progress I was able to make in just a few weeks, I'm very optimistic that the polish will come sooner rather than later.

Based on the list of contributors to your project, I am not sure this starting location is optimally suited to the task of building a foundation for polished, reliable, expandable software.
It's having ~ 5000 tests already. Used correctly, AI agents can help you improve the quality of the code!
Do you see why this perspective is a red flag on its own?

God help us.
The sneering on HN really has no end. This is a good project! I for one am very excited to see an interpreter born out of rust.
It’s so obnoxious
It's a defense mechanism. I was guilty as charge as well initially. Suddenly most of your l33t skillz are trivialized and surpassed by an inhumane actor. It's a tough pill to swallow.
In that case I kindly refer you to the matter of Arkell v. Pressdam.
i'm curious if you intend to reimplement highly optimized numerical algorithms, symbolic algorithms, and so on, accumulated and tuned in mathematica since its 1988 release?
it's a huuuuuuuuge amount of technology in the standard library of mathematica, beyond the surface syntax and rewrite system, i mean.
