I'd also recommend "Scientific Babel How Science Was Done Before and After Global English" by Michael D. Gordin [0]. It goes into detail about which languages scientists have used over time.

Yes, I've had to learn this one the hard way, too. And more than once, I have to admit.

When I was working on Mathematica, a lot of effort was put in to making examples for each doc page. One example (that I didn't work on) picked at random: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/RandomVariate.htm...

Mnesia is _not_ the storage layer for messages (except for delayed messages).
Mnesia stores vhosts, users, permissions, queue definitions and more. This is being transitioned to Khepri, which improves a lot of things (maybe most importantly netsplits) but not directly message speeds.

This release includes a new (native, no longer a plugin) AMQP 1.0 implementation, new quorum queue features, and a new schema data store (Khepri)

You can also use wolframcloud.com for free. Which runs the latest Mathematica online.

Most interesting might be the new "tprof"-tool that allows for heap profiling

ra for those interested: https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra
("A Raft implementation for Erlang and Elixir that strives to be efficient and make it easier to use multiple Raft clusters in a single system.")
Used by RabbitMQ for quorum queues + Khepri (the new metadata store)
