An interpreter for the Wolfram Language powered by Rust.
Features
The initial focus is to implement a subset of the Wolfram Language so that it can be used for CLI scripting and notebooks. For example:
#!/usr/bin/env woxi (* Print the square of 5 random integers between 1 and 9 *) RandomInteger[{1, 9}, 5] // Map[#^2&] // Map[Print]
It has full support for Jupyter Notebooks including graphical output:
Check out the CLI tests directory to see all currently supported commands and their expected output. All tests must pass with Woxi and WolframScript.
Also check out the functions.csv file for a list of all Wolfram Language functions and their implementation status.
Woxi runs faster than WolframScript as there is no overhead of starting a kernel and verifying its license.
Installation
You can easily install it with Rust's cargo:
From Source
If you want to build Woxi from source, you need to have Rust installed. You can get it from rust-lang.org.
Clone the repository, build the project, and install it:
git clone https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi
cd Woxi
make installUsage
You can use the interpreter directly from the command line:
woxi eval 'StringJoin["Hello", " ", "World!"]' # Hello World!
Or you can run a script:
woxi run tests/scripts/hello_world.wls
Jupyter Notebook
You can also use Woxi in Jupyter notebooks. Install the kernel with:
Then start the Jupyter server:
cd examples && jupyter lab
Or simply use our JupyterLite instance. It runs fully self-contained in your browser and no data is send to the cloud.
CLI Comparison With WolframScript
| Woxi | WolframScript |
|---|---|
woxi eval "1 + 2" |
wolframscript -code "1 + 2" |
woxi run script.wls |
wolframscript script.wls |
