I mentioned this to him on Twitter a while ago. Presumably it has to do with the fact that he's no longer at Galois. Another unfortunate fact is that ACOVEA is at this point unmaintained, and that is why the official homepage for it was removed. When I emailed the author, he said he couldn't

Pretty interesting links, thanks. Unfortunately, if Fortress is to have any chance of success with programmers, it will need to be straight-line and essentially have Algol-based syntax. MATLAB, LabVIEW, Fortran, Java, C, and non-OO C++/random subsets of C++ rule scientific programming. Unit

From what I recall of Mathematica the language, it has more in common with Lisp than Haskell: it's symbolic, dynamically typed, etc. Allegedly Wolfram spent years on this; if it has any merit, duplicating it would be difficult. What I'd like to see most is WolframAlpha in action. At this point
