First have a free tier for Wolfram cloud that is going to let a lot of people try out the new, or should that be 'old', language and see if it can do anything for them. While much of what is going on is a marketing exercise, there is some good news. It is only a breakthrough, however, if you haven't already encountered Mathematica, as it is mostly a port of the Mathematica scripting language to the cloud plus some additional libraries such as an API to use Wolfram Alpha. After spending a lot of time agonizing about what to call the Mathematica scripting language it was named Wolfram Language and it has been claimed as a breakthrough. The real mystery of Wolfram Language is why it took Stephen Wolfram so long to realize that it was possible to get a wider adoption of Mathematica by making the language more important than the program. but if you get hooked the bill increases quite quickly.
