As an independent application Leo is much more resilient as the
maintenance is about features and bugfixing, which can be done "as
needed".
Since I read your remark I've been envying Stephen Wolfram. My thought
was that Mathematica and his company would continue long after him.
But as recent events show, there are no guarantees.  Furthermore,
Mathematica is closed software; it's influence will be limited to the
product itself, not its code.

As someone who has follow the Wolfram's work and has good impression of Mathematica, but also think that is a shame that their work is closed source and see in open source projects like Leo + TeXmacs + MathPiper/Sage a long better viable option I'm intrigued by your comment. Could you please elaborate more, specially about "recent events"?

In other words, its time to put my envy aside and focus on making my
successor successful :-)


:) This will be my Quote of the Day.

Cheers,

Offray
