I am proud to report that Sage has been "officially" recognized as "very suitable for rapid prototyping". Also, Sage is "a fine tool for many applications".
This recognition is because I won the lightning round (for the "rapid prototyping" recognition) and got second place in the main contest (for the "fine tool" recognition) in the 2010 ICFP Programming Contest (http://icfpcontest.org/2010/) using Sage (the recognition is part of the prize). (Normally the recognition would be for a programming language, but the organizers let me claim Sage rather than Python as the programming language I used.) >From Sage, I used: * matrices over multivariate integer polynomials * the Polyhedron class, to find vertices of a polyhedron given its definition as linear inequalities * ZZ's arbitrary-base support, to convert integers to and from base-3 strings The prize ceremony was videotaped, but I don't know if the video will be available. (If so, it would be part of the segment "Report on the Thirteenth ICFP Programming Contest".)
