The results lie somewhere in between. Running code tends | to determine the actual result. I think most of what you said is close to a good summary. Except the paragraphs on "bottom up", where I'm having difficulty to see who are proposing/insisting that the tools should shape the ideas, and how that is different from your perspective. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
