On a similar note, we have this: > sage: !math > Mathematica 6.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) > Copyright 1988-2007 Wolfram Research, Inc. > > In[1]:= sin = 0 > > Out[1]= 0 > > In[2]:= sin(Pi/2) > > Out[2]= 0 If you think that's so silly that no one would ever really do something like that...then you have never faced a computer lab full of engineering sophomores. There are certainly things in Sage that are equally ridiculous, but one thing that I really, really about Sage like is that, by building on top of Python, we benefit from the years and years of experience and discussion about language design that the Python community has gone through.
