Building Computational Systems in the Wolfram Language

The Wolfram Language (WL) is renowned for its exploratory capabilities but less so for converting computational insights into sustainable, "real-world applications". The conventional pathway has initial WL-experimentation giving way to "proper" system-building languages (e.g. Python, C++ etc.) for widespread deployment. Recent technological advances however, raises the tantalizing prospect of carrying out both exploration and system-building in the same environment while using the same high-level programming language. Such continuity promises a frictionless transition from computational discovery to product-delivery and this workshop reveals some key techniques, technologies and patterns that makes this end-to-end pathway possible.

Emphases on each topic will depend on attendee interest as well as introducing a special new tool for transforming the package-building process (onSoc licenses included). This workshop is targeted at experienced WL users ranging from academics needing to produce FAIR-compliant research software, start-ups choosing the WL as their core system-building language through to large organizations seeking to future-proof/commercialize significant WL code-bases.
