The Winners of the 2018 One-Liner Competition

Images and machine learning were the dominant themes of submissions to the One-Liner Competition held at this year’s Wolfram Technology Conference. The competition challenges attendees to show us the most astounding things they can accomplish with 128 or fewer characters—less than one tweet—of Wolfram Language code. And astound us they did. Read on to see how.

A New Kind of eSport: Livecoding Championship Live from the Wolfram Technology Conference 2018

Join us Wednesday, October 17, 2018, from 9:30–11:30pm CT for an exciting adventure in livecoding! During our annual Wolfram Technology Conference, we put our internal experts and guests to the test. Coding questions ranging from physics to pop culture, image processing to visualizations, and all other things challenging will be posed to participants live. Who will take home the trophy belt this year? A senior developer from our Machine Learning group? A high-school kid with serious coding chops? You? Now in its third year, the Wolfram Livecoding Championship promises to be bigger and better than ever. The event is concurrently livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube Live, so if you're not able to be here in person, we'd love to see you on the stream. The livestream will also be available on Stephen Wolfram's Twitch channel, with a special livestreamed introduction from Stephen himself. See last year's competition and get a taste of what the event has to offer: New this year will be running commentary on competitors' progress as they each take their own unique approach to problem solving, highlighting the depth and breadth of possibilities in the Wolfram Language. Stay tuned for more competitions, and we hope to see you there!

The 2018 Wolfram Summer School: A Recap

The 16th annual Wolfram Summer School was another successful immersive education adventure made possible by the power of the Wolfram Language for rapid scientific exploration and software development. A select group of 62 participants from all around the world (ranging from advanced high-school students to postgraduate students and beyond) worked on a variety of computational projects related to science, technology and innovation and educational innovation. The three-week program was packed with cutting-edge technologies, intellectual discussions, innovation in action and community building.

What Can You Say in One Line of the Wolfram Language? The 2017 One-Liner Competition

The One-Liner Competition is a tradition at our annual Wolfram Technology Conference, which took place at our headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, two weeks ago. We challenge attendees to show us the most impressive effects they can achieve with 128 characters or fewer of Wolfram Language code. We are never disappointed, and often surprised by what they show us can be done with the language we work so hard to develop—the language we think is the world's most powerful and fun. This year's winning submissions included melting flags, computer vision and poetry. Read on to see how far you can go with just a few characters of Wolfram Language code...
