1+1/2 in Python2 is 1, which I bet you wouldn't be OK with :-) > Well. Not that it is of public interest: I just wanted to show that > "indeed, some parts of Sage could be made somehow independent".

Thinking more longterm, it is worth considering how we can create the best possible open source mathematical software that is as broadly accessible as possible. Coming up with better approaches to writing Sage that support such a goal is well worth doing, rather than just the survival goal of having enough functionality to do some research. I am personally very worried about the survival of Sage, given the advances in software engineering, modularity, code re-use, etc. that have been developed over the last decade. By thinking more broadly we can maybe shift Sage to be something that can better survive *and* provide greater value to the world. I'm really glad Nathann is listening to what users want and thinking about ways to better provide it. > Though as I was saying in the first message of this thread: some > graphs algorithms could be written in C++ without any problem, and > could of independent interest for people who [cannot/do not want to] > install Sage to solve their problem. +1000 > > Nathann > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
