I sympathise with the frustration about the way Wolfram Inc markets its products. We could find a way to capitalise on this. On question 2, I think we are already getting an uptick in interest in the site because of the Raspberry Pi publicity. There is a question about whether other “front ends” are on-topic I don’t have a strong view on this. There are also questions about the Mathematica front end that are explicitly on-topic (and were a lot of the reason why the Mathematica community could never have stayed on StackOverflow).
My rationale for answering “yes” to question 1 is that the Wolfram Language implementation is essentially equivalent to the kernel in the Mathematica application, or maybe a future version of it. My own answers to the above three questions are “yes”, “yes”, and “possibly a bit more than we are currently doing”.
Are these new Wolfram Language products, such as the recently announced implementation on Raspberry Pi, an opportunity to promote Mathematica.SE?.
Should we treat questions about the Wolfram Language as on-topic even when it is not specifically about Mathematica, the product? (And if so, does this change our decision to make Wolfram Alpha questions off-topic?).There are three separate but interrelated questions here, touched on by the other answers and the many comments.
