However, note that this is with respect to a very high goal indeed,
which is to replicate every last bit of functionality in the programs
mentioned in the mission statement.
It is a very high goal but I think that "replicate every last bit of
functionality" is NOT equivalent with be "a viable alternative". After
all is Mathematica a viable alternative to sage? It certainly does not
replicate every last bit of functionality of sage (one of the reasons
I'd never touch mathematica with a 10 foot pole is that mathematica's
idea of a programming language drastically doesn't fit my brain -- and I
think the batteries included nature of python is important
functionality). But, I think I may simply have constructed an argument
that it's not possible to be reach the high points of sage & mathematica
in one package.
