"According to the CRAN website, Currently, the CRAN package repository features 5601 available packages. According to RDocumentation.org there are 11794 R packages on CRAN, Bioconductor and GitHub at the moment (November 20th 2016). Number of packages is rising with each day." R is the defacto standard in statistics and has millions of users. In contrast, Sage has like 5 third party packages, and maybe 50K users, and is certainly not the defacto standard for math. Have some faith in people to be able to actually maintain code on their own. I would way, way rather have 5000 external sage packages, with only 1000 well maintained, then 0. I applaud all efforts to give people the tools and support they need to express themselves. -- William > > > -- > 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 https://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.
