[sage-devel] Re: Mathematica language vs. python

Someone should tell the survey people that "it's" is not the possessive form of it. "It's" is a contraction for "it is". The possessive is "its". If you want a slightly more informative comparison, try common lisp vs python. Crowdsourcing on opinions of programming languages seems like a

Re: [sage-devel] Artithmetics in p-adic extensions?

Sage currently supports arithmetic in totally ramified p-adic extensions defined by an Eisenstein polynomial. There is progress in more general extensions in the last few months, but I've been really busy with other projects as well. What kind of extensions do you need? David On Tue, Apr 24, 201

[sage-devel] Mathematica language vs. python

Here is a very interesting informal survey of Mathematica qualities. It looks like people are asked to rate different languages against different statements: http://hammerprinciple.com/therighttool/items/mathematica Notice that the ratings are most dissimilar from Python (see bottom of page)
