So a non-Fortran Sage would lose a lot of numerical ability (mpmath
would stay, but it looks like GSL depends on blas/atlas/something with
Fortran) and a non-Lisp Sage would lose Maxima (for us, primarily
symbolic ODE/sum/integrals, since we don't use sympy for these +
second option for numerical integration and maybe some other stuff).
Good to know, thanks.
