wolframite: An interface between Clojure and Wolfram Language (the language of Mathematica). It works like a charm with latest release of Wolfram engine on macOS. #clojure #mathematica

Rainbow array algebra: I really like syntax-highlighted math notation and all those pretty diagrams. See also MathTools. #mathematica
