Wolframite: Bring computational intelligence to Clojure
summary
Wolframite is a Clojure↔Wolfram bridge that starts a Wolfram Engine process, sends Wolfram expressions and returns results; it runs locally (with cloud fallbacks for parts of the knowledge base) and exposes image bounding boxes for three-line object detection on video, a semantic interpretation call to extract European capitals and compute a shortest tour, and a namespace mapping of 7,000 functions to Clojure vars. Demos show rendered diagrams and interactive windows; tooling, docs and import/export work though front-end and license quirks sometimes require fallbacks.
