Given the long list of "breaking changes" and "Deprecated or removed" I think it is premature to suggest that they are moving towards stability.

Your comment appears to be about the article but you seem unable to do so without focusing on yourself. It was all going fine until you wrote "I had not seen before". How is it relevant whether you had seen it before or not? In all, you make four references to yourself and your feelings in this comment. What egregious self-promotion! /sarcasm

Or you could just use the real thing for free at https://www.open.wolframcloud.com/

You have to think of Mathematica code as a specification of what your science does. As long as the expected output of the function is clearly defined, then your work is replicatable/verifiable (with enough effort) which makes it good science. I am much more concerned about occaisional places where the documentation of Mathematica is poor, than whether the soruce is viewable.

Open Source is just the ultimately precise but horribly inconvenient documetnation.

About 70% of the space is taken by documentation. You can delete that and read the docs online.

You can see it in wolframalpha http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=earthquakes+in+north+ko...

He says the book is zero->useful, you are asking for zero->expert.

FYI here are your answers...

WordCloud[StringTake[WordList[], 1], WordSpacings -> 10] (* spaced out * )

WordCloud[StringTake[WordList[], 1], Binarize[CurrentImage[]]] (* shaped like your face * )

twitter = ServiceConnect["Twitter"]; ServiceExecute[twitter, "ImageTweet", Image ->WordCloud[StringTake[WordList[], 1]]] ( * Tweet a wordcloud *)

For that kind of detail, you will always want the documentation http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/WordCloud.html
