Feb 21, 2017 at 14:42 comment added Martin Ender Mod Might be worth mentioning that the stuff you enter into Wolfram Alpha is not the Wolfram Language. The Wolfram Language is what most people call Mathematica and Mathematica is one implementation of that language. Under the hood W|A also uses WL afaik, but the queries you enter are first processed by something W|A specific before WL-code is generated from that.

Feb 20, 2017 at 8:06 comment added Stewie Griffin In that case, won't the language be Mathematica, and the program fetches results from the internet?
Feb 20, 2017 at 8:03 comment added Pavel Actually, you can make W|A queries with a single, concrete result. In Mathematica, enter Free-form Input mode with =. It will lookup your query with W|A and return a single result. On the other hand, this can be argued to just be the Wolfram Language with = prepended to whatever your query was.
