I don't know how much of the below is possible or available in Sage.
But I miss they syntax from Mathematica. I love the fact that it
doesn't wear down the little fingers on your right hand.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (elegant, clear, no matching of brackets)
f /@ data (good extension of good syntax)
{#, f[#]}& /@ data (so dirty, so quick, a bit hard on pinky)
data /. x_?(# < 0 &) -> 0 (this is perhaps not the killer example)
y == a x^2 + b x + c (so easy to type, so easy to parse by eye)
Probably the thing that makes all that learnable and useable in
Mathematica is how a multiple click shows you the structure of your
expression.
The virtuous solution might be to write a "Sage for Mathematica
junkies" document.
