| Jan 3, 2018 at 23:05 | comment | added | Henrik Schumacher | An informal and incomplete attempt to answer the first question: Exaggerating a bit, the Mathematica kernel can do basically one thing (and it can do that pretty well) and that is replacing expressions. The whole language (as far as I can tell) is based on the concept of replacements. Metaphorically, it is the kernel itself that calls Replace and ReplaceAll during evaluation. All the other functionality (like the concept of Function) is emulated from this basic principle. | |
