You use en dashes ("--" in TeX) when you should use em dashes ("---" in
TeX), such as in
Python--easily one of the world's top 10 programming languages--is a...
There should be three dashes there. En dashes are used for ranges,
typically for pages or years.
I might also rearrange the bit about OpenMath, which seems to come out
of nowhere; perhaps something like
Sage is thus the first [...] meaningful way. This huge range of
programs is tied together using Python's excellent extensibility via C
libraries and pseudotty's; OpenMath is currently not used in Sage.
At any rate, it should be "this huge range of programs *is*", not "are".
(Can you tell that I (1) am a nit-picky LaTeX nerd, and (2) just read
"Eats, Shoots, and Leaves"? :)
I like abstract3. I hope it goes well!
