Just renewed it (not that it'll survive the HN hug of death). It's been a few years since I've touched that website.

Yes, that's roughly accurate. Jan Pöschko (the creator of Mathics) went to Wolfram in 2012 and I went to Google at the end of 2016. Since then it's been largely unmaintained as I don't have the time to work on it unfortunately

Nit
> The distribution must be smooth (this method doesn’t work for discrete parameters), but it need not be analytically differentiable
'Smooth' and 'analytic' both have basic technical meanings in the context of differentiability [1], [2].
Glossing over the assumptions in this way is quite misleading

I think you mean 13.468 TB/s per square mile.

We previously used ply but ran into a few issues:
The main issue was that generating the tables was extremely slow (~15mins). We solved this by packaging the tables, but when the version of ply changed a table regeneration was forced on our users.
The recursive descent parser was also simpler and significantly more performant.
There's a short write-up on the PR: https://github.com/mathics/Mathics/pull/416

Hidden in there (under 1.0) is "new recursive descent parser #416". We've only just finished 1.0 and haven't had a chance to announce it properly yet.

Mathics developer here. Yes, we rewrote it. I better update the docs.

Mathics, a free and open source Mathematica interpreter is looking for its first logo.
We're planning to release a 1.0 in the next few weeks and really need a logo to accompany the release.

The web interface does have inbuilt docs. Code introspection and tab completion are coming as part of the new interface (in progress) see https://github.com/mathics/IMathics

That's right. Mathics is still maintained. There are currently two of us working on it. The last release was v0.9 in March this year.

I'd say jupyter notebooks surpass Mathematica UX wise.
I maintain Mathics [1] which has it's own web interface e.g. [2]. I don't think the Mathics interface is as nice as MMA but the documentation bar on the side is really nice.
