I installed wolfram  on my raspberry pi. 
Mostly to play with free-form linguistics but I couldn't get it to work.
I considred D, Julia and Wolfram for a  raspberry pi project.

But D(dmd) and  Julia is not in the apt-get archve for raspberry pi
and wolfram is behind a paywall on other platforms. 
So, I decided to go with racket. 

I don't know much about it but there is some talk about reactive 
programming. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_programming
https://www.coursera.org/course/reactive

One of the reasons I have had look at Julia and wolfram is that I took a 
course in systematic program design some time ago.
https://www.coursera.org/course/programdesign
It teaches that the structure of the program follow from the structure of 
the data, 
and I was looking for a programming language which uses this fact and 
places the data first. Like:

suffixTree res=("GTAGT$",[5, 2, 3, 0, 4, 1],[0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 
1]).suffixArray2suffixTree

The idé is that by placing the data first the programming envioment might 
help you find the right function or series of function (with tab complete 
?),
or maybe write some systematic code automatically.

Well, this might just be some late night rambling not much about Julia or 
Wolfram.
