Thank you. Yeah, Mathematica doesn't seem to be very popular. They have a very large,
well-designed function library, so you can get things done very quickly, but then very few
people will be able to use what you make. I was doing competitive analysis on Adobe and
Wolfram Research at Microsoft through Visual Studio 2010. Then they had to restructure the
entire division to focus more on keeping legacy customers instead of innovation. My
choices were to either improve the consistency of options panels for C# and VB or just
start writing code and see where it took me. So, to make a medium-length story short, here
I am.

Nice work! Interesting to see that you made it in Mathematica, of all things!

I made a quick demo of browsing Wikipedia
categories by popularity.
The video is here (sorry about the audio quality):

If other people like having an option to sort categories that way then
article traffic might be a good property to store on Wikidata.
