When I was working on Mathematica, a lot of effort was put in to making examples for each doc page. One example (that I didn't work on) picked at random: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/RandomVariate.htm...

can you elaborate on the details? I have some memories about running OpenStack where Rabbit "was slow", but we never figured out why. mnesia is the storage layer?
Mnesia is _not_ the storage layer for messages (except for delayed messages).
Mnesia stores vhosts, users, permissions, queue definitions and more. This is being transitioned to Khepri, which improves a lot of things (maybe most importantly netsplits) but not directly message speeds.
For me the killer feature of Kafka is that topics are persistent until the data expires. Meaning different readers can be working at different offsets. And you can rewind or fast forward the offset you are reading, which can really be a life saver when things go sideways.
Does RabbitMQ have equivalent features?
Yes, a stream queue type [0] is available where you can set retention, and replay messages.
This release includes a new (native, no longer a plugin) AMQP 1.0 implementation, new quorum queue features, and a new schema data store (Khepri)
I sometimes wonder if Keynote will suffer now that Jobs is gone and the Apple keynotes have gone to using videos ever since the pandemic. I don’t think Cook ever liked doing the live demos, so the videos are likely here to stay. The presentations Jobs did were a big driver of Keynote’s development.
If you haven’t seen it, there is an interview with the guy who put those presentations together for 20 years. It’s pretty interesting.

They mention a book, book seems like it never came out?
Cool, they've added support for long message queue monitoring: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/7651

> Mathematica, MATLAB, Maple, etc all have graph libraries of some form or another. I am not paying the thousands of dollars in licensing needed to learn more.
Wolfram provides a free Mathematica called Wolfram Engine https://www.wolfram.com/engine/. It's Mathematica without the UI. I hear you can combine it with Jupyter Notebook to get a similar experience to Mathematica.
You can also use wolframcloud.com for free. Which runs the latest Mathematica online.
