I initially thought that getting people to "just install Sage" to get a consistent and interoperable set of modeling-related software was a clean way to get rid of the complexity of available software set maintainance. But the current state of Sage distribution makes this a bit of a dream. Currently, the best way to install Sage is to compile it from source : definitely not an "end-user" task... It's even worse on Windows, where Sage isn't even a "first class citizen", notwithstanding the Herculean efforts of one E. Madison Bray (more on this in a little while on This issue <https://github.com/sagemath/sage-windows/issues/35>). Do you think that it is possible to keep the R *interface* standard while R being *optional*, in a way similar to Mathematica, Magma and Maple ? It might require a bit more work, R being updated at least twice annually, while Mathematica's release are at multi-years intervals... > But given that it's just a bug fix release I can't imagine there's a > problem... > Famous last words... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
