Woxi - Open-source Mathematica / Wolfram Language reimplementation
Woxi is an interpreter for the Wolfram Language written in Rust. It comes with Woxi Studio, a Mathematica-like GUI built with iced, but you can also use Woxi through a CLI, Jupyter kernel, Python package, npm package, or WASM module. Compared with wolframscript / Mathematica, the main differences are: - Free and open source - Very fast startup - Typically milliseconds rather than seconds for the Wolfram kernel, making Woxi practical for shell scripts, one-liners, and other short-lived processes - Embeddable - It can run in a browser via WASM or be embedded into another application as a…

In plain words
Woxi is an open-source Wolfram Language interpreter written in Rust. It provides multiple interfaces including Woxi Studio (a Mathematica-like notebook editor), command-line tools, Jupyter kernel, and browser-based playground, all running locally. Unlike Mathematica, Woxi starts in milliseconds rather than seconds, making it practical for scripts and short-lived processes, and can be embedded in browsers via WASM or other applications.

From the sources
Woxi is a Wolfram Language interpreter implemented in Rust. Run code in the browser playground, on the CLI, in Jupyter, or in the Woxi Studio notebook editor.
Everything runs locally in your browser. No data is sent anywhere. The playground above is one of several Woxi front-ends — the same interpreter powers a full-screen playground, a command-line tool, a Jupyter kernel (also runnable in the browser via JupyterLite), and a native notebook editor. Side-by-side editor and output pane with more room to explore. Great for multi-line expressions and experimenting with graphics. Evaluate expressions with woxi eval , run .wls scripts directly, or use Woxi as a shebang interpreter. Faster to start than wolframscript . Woxi ships as a Jupyter kernel. Install it locally with woxi install-kernel , or run the full notebook experience in your browser…from woxi.ad-si.com

Woxi - A Rust-based interpreter for a subset of the Wolfram Language2025 · github.com · ▲14Mathematica is an incredible piece of software, and the Wolfram Language is actually quite pleasant to use once you get used to the syntax. Unfortunately, the high licensing costs of Mathematica make it inaccessible to many people, and therefore (in my opinion) worse solutions like Python, R, and Jupyter have become the default. Due to the sheer size of Mathematica (over 6000 functions!), it is impossible for me to rebuild it from scratch alone. Please join me in rebuilding it one PR at a time so we can finally make it accessible to everyone!

W++ – A Python-style scripting language for .NET with NuGet support2025 · github.com · ▲98Hey HN I’ve been building *W++*, a scripting language that looks like Python but runs on the .NET runtime. It started as a fun side project, but it evolved into something surprisingly powerful — and potentially useful: Key Features: - Python-style syntax with semicolon-based simplicity - Compiles to .NET IL with experimental JIT support - Can run interpreted or compiled - Built-in CLI for managing projects, running, and building - Supports importing NuGet packages and converts them to .ingot modules automatically - MIT licensed and fully open-source You can even do things like: wpp import…
WOZCODEMay 2026 · wozcode.com · ▲194For the last year we've been building an AI mobile app builder. Last week we decided to generalize our agent harness and benchmark it against vanilla Claude Code. Turns out the tools we built for app building were significantly more efficient than the native Claude Code tools. When we ran benchmarks we beat Claude code on speed (~40% faster) , cost (25-55% cheaper) and performance (+17% on Terminal Bench 2.0). Today we're making our agent harness publicly available as a Claude Code plugin. Use code WOZCODE1 to try it for $1 at wozcode.com

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
