>>you can't build a deployable app with it with anything but a notebook interface. A notebook might be great for a researcher but it's not a good interface for many other kinds of programs.

There are several IDEs one can use: https://www.wolfram.com/developer/resources/

>>I also have an issue with Wolfram's documentation or the lack thereof.

There are literally tens of thousands of pages of documentation? https://reference.wolfram.com/language/

What I meant is the interface of the built app, not an IDE.

Whenever I bring up Wolfram doc, someone tells me there are thousands of pages. I know that. Have you read any of them? They're not like any programmer doc I've ever seen. Instead of explaining principles and rules, they just give a lot of examples. It's not really helpful and it helps cement my position that Wolfram is more of a library than a language.
