The idea that Sage persons should re-implement something in Python or
Cython is based on a notion that there is a problem with existing and
(apparently) working code, because it is written in an
(allegedly) unsuitable implementation language. Furthermore, this
notion also extends to a claim that

I think/suspect Sage is more popular than Maxima if you go by all time
download statistics.
I don't think it is as popular as Maple or Mathematica yet.
I think the claim was that it is becoming the M$ of mathematical
software. I suspect that means "default standard" or something.
Actually, I didn

I am curious as to the claim that Sage is very popular.

How do you expect Wolfram Research, Maplesoft and similar deal with such
issues? They must hit them too. I suspect they have a few nightmares with
this, but the best way is probably to have decent documentation. If code is
well commented, and has references to papers where the algorithms are

This is similar to the CATS pamphlet files.
They use noweb format but they could use the \begin...\end

If we look at one of the files, e.g.
