[fricas-devel] Parsing FriCAS/Axiom code

2014-03-15 Thread Francesco Bonazzi
Hi there! I have been looking at the FriCAS and OpenAxiom code recently, to determine whether it is possible to translate the code into Julia programming language. Julia is a new open source programming language for scientific purposes. It has many objectives, like being simple to learn as

Francesco, Julia seems remarkably like SPAD and Aldor, particularly in its type system http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/types/ but I seriously doubt that fully automatic translation of the FriCAS library would be possible since FriCAS frequently resorts to direct calls to the

I have read the long thread that you post earlier this month in julia-dev: Symbolic Math: try a translation of Axiom to Julia? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-dev/NTfS9fJuIcE Some words about the comparison of CAS mentioned in the thread above: panAxiom systems have great
