You're right, he is. > That's where I'd say that piggybacking on Enthought's work would be a > far better fit for Sage than building something local in Java. I agree with you, at least for *research* applications. > Perhaps my remarks weren't clear, or I misunderstood Ted's intent. No, I think you understood his intent perfectly. Part of the issue is that Ted's target audience is utterly completely different than Enthought's. That said, I think it certainly can't hurt to see where Ted goes with what he is doing, and there will be people interested in using it. Open source programming is often about scratching and itch, and he has one, and it is certainly good to encourage it and see what it leads. E.g., what if he creates something that works really well for certain well-defined classroom applications, and that turns out to be one of the biggest applications of Sage? -- william -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
