history
Project history and usage
Woxi, short for 'Wolfram oxidized,' is a Rust-powered interpreter implementing a subset of the Wolfram Language. Its initial focus is command-line scripting and notebooks without depending on the proprietary Wolfram kernel.
Project history
The official repository was created in September 2024. Development expanded the interpreter beyond a CLI into Jupyter, WebAssembly/JavaScript, Python, and a macOS notebook editor; v0.2.0 became the first currently listed GitHub release in July 2026.
Adoption history
Woxi is installable as a Rust crate with cargo install woxi, as the woxi-wasm npm package, as pre-built Python wheels from PyPI, and as a Homebrew formula. The project also hosts a browser-accessible JupyterLite instance for trying the interpreter.
How it is used
The woxi command evaluates expressions, runs .wls scripts, and starts a persistent REPL. A Jupyter kernel provides notebook support with graphical output, while JavaScript and Python bindings embed evaluation in other runtimes.
Why package nerds care
Woxi is notable for reimplementing part of a proprietary language in Rust and exposing the same evaluator through native CLI, Cargo, Homebrew, npm/WebAssembly, PyPI, Jupyter, and a macOS application. That cross-ecosystem packaging makes it useful as both a scripting tool and an embeddable runtime experiment.
