> It’s only recently that I’ve begun to properly internalize just how broad the implications of having a computational language really are—even though, ironically, I’ve spent much of my life engaged precisely in the consuming task of building the world’s only large-scale computational language.

I guess the rest of us will just need to muddle through with the (apparently) small-scale (non?)-computational languages that we use.

I think that might be a little unfair. Wolfram's certainly more articulate in his egotism, but nobody matches The Donald for sheer volume:

"I understand things, I comprehend very well. Ok? Better than, I think, almost anybody."
