I sort of see Wolfram Alpha as simply an incredibly sophisticated calculator instead of an information discovery tool. What were you trying to compute about polyadic pi-calculus?
Alpha seems to be trying to put all sorts of different kinds of data into a common, hugely high-dimensional space so that you can perform computations on it, where your computations are expressed in a mix of mathematical and natural language. There are certainly a lot of things that it's not useful for yet, but it's a tremendously interesting problem.
