You are quite wrong here, I think. Worldwide there are maybe 1000 Mathematicians interested in writing code, I suspect less. There are currently at least four competitors in the market of general purpose case, not counting SAGE. MuPAD is so similar to Axiom, that, once it is more commonly adopted, we have *no* chance of getting any new contributors. In most contries, the cost of licencing MuPAD is negligible in comparison with the cost of salaries. We need (good) contributors now. I'm working quite hard on that. But I tell you, if we are still less than 20 contributors end of next year, I'll probably stop with Axiom. (I think we are currently about 10, but I didn't count.)
