An answer that's been given to me a number of times is "Maybe on the computational side, but it doesn't have any drivers, and not as easy of interfaces like Labview". Note that this is an answer given to me by people who know of Sage but don't have interest in trying something that isn't a drop-in replacement for MATLAB et al., not my actual use experience. Third-party (both hardware and "recipe") support seems to be key for "viability" in the sense you mean. A good place to ask about this might be somewhere other than sage- devel - maybe some open/Usenet list where a lot of MATLAB users lurk. I don't know how to frame the question in a way that doesn't sound like an advertisement, though. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
