Hi, The possibility to dump lisp and maxima entirely from Sage keeps popping into my head. I would like this thread to be entirely 100% about the technical *feasibility* of removing maxima as a standard component of Sage. Whether or not this is good/bad/political correct, desirable, or undesirable, I hope won't be discussed in *this* thread.
To start this off, in order to remove Maxima, we would have to use Pynac (=ginac) (+ more) to at least mostly duplicate the calculus functionality that we currently use. Is there anything else we would need to do? How feasible is this? I don't mean to suggest this could be trivially done by anybody right now. I'm talking about feasibility in the sense of several very hard weeks work by one of the top 10 Sage developers. -- William -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
