William suggests... 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.
........... 1. Consider "lines of code". How many correct LOC/day does a top 10 Sage developer write? On average. A guess. 2. How many LOC are there in Maxima's code for integration? (easy to count) 3. How many LOC are there in the code that Maxima's integration code USES? (not so easy to count -- includes pieces of many of the source files like simplification, solve, rational manipulation... there is a chart about this, and you can also get dependency information from tools that are available in some lisp compilers. ) 4. How many LOC in LISP per LOC in whatever language you choose? 1, 10, 1/10? Of course you might actually have to learn how to do this task by reading some pretty dense material; PhD dissertations by Bronstein, Trager, Davenport, Rothstein, Rioboo, Cherry, ... so that might take, oh, a few hours by one of the top 10 Sage developers ? Happy new year.
