  From what I can tell, the main difference between Wolfram and Matlab/Julia (other than syntax) is a database of various facts. Is that a fair assessment? Is there a way to access the database without the language?

    It's based on rewriting symbolic terms (similar to Lisp's s-expressions) using rules. It then originally has a large library of facts and rules for a large amount of mathematical domains. This has been expanded over time into lots of knowledge about the world (physics, biology, astronomy, ...). Programming is often done with multimedia-rich notebooks. https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Planet.html https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Planet.htm... So it's some kind of knowledge-based system for mathematical related domains,
