Hi: I just want to pass along some ideas I got from Sage developers at the recent NSF-CDI conference in Rhode Island. I don't know how feasible they are.
(1) One Maple developer suggested that the pexpect interface Sage<->Maple could be improved using the Openmaple API (http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=4383). Instead of passing strings back-and-forth, you simply pass pointers, which he said would be faster. (2) Another person suggested that if one was to ask for Maple support in any sort of collaborative project (Hoon Hong suggested that research on interfaces is important and needs further development, for example), the best person to ask would be the guy in charge of R+D, whose name I have forgotten. Is there any objection to trying to pursue this angle? (I have no idea how fruitful it will be, but IMHO it can't hurt to ask.) - David Joyner --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
