I saw a cool presentation by wolfram’s son last year. He seemed early twenties.
It was a neat demo of using population data and quickly running it through Mathematica for nice chloropleth maps, charts, etc.
He was pretty cool and answered questions afterwards.
He was showing how the tool is useful for social science, but it’s so expensive.
I hope that if Wolfram ever retires, he will open source it because it’s so useful beyond the current customer base who values it enough to pay.

At least for non-commercial use, Mathematica for the Raspberry Pi is free! https://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/
As you might imagine, his son (I think he was around 11 then) takes after his father and was heavily into programming already.
Imagine having him as your father! Lucky bugger.
