In this third installment of our n part series, “Defining the Wolfram Language,” we begin to study the properties, namely the arity, affix, associativity, and precedence, of the Mathematica operators we found in Part 1. If we ended Part 1 proud of our accomplishment—perhaps even a little smug—then we will get reacquainted with our humility in this article.

Finding All Wolfram Language Operators

In this second article, Part 1 of an n part series on Defining the Wolfram Language, we start getting our hands dirty hunting down every single operator in Mathematica and each operator’s linguistic properties. To my knowledge, nobody outside of Wolfram has created such an exhaustive list before.

What is the definition of the Wolfram Language? This is the first in a series of articles attempting to answer this question.

In which I show you how to programmatically interface with a Mathematica kernel from Python.
