1. If you write a little program on the command line and it does
something, but simply it doesn't do the right thing or you get strange
error messages about missing attributes -- it would be very hard to
find out that you forgot to define some object X, so that Sage worked
in the wrong assumption that X is a symbolic variable. I strongly
prefer to get a clear error message, namely "NameError: Name 'X' is
not defined" or so.
That's a good point. Could you give an example of how such confussion
might happen? Mathematica uses automatic names, so it would be
interesting to see how and if it avoids this sort of thing.
my_new_function=some function
some command involving my_new_funtcion
Instead of getting an error about the misspelled function not existing,
I'd get some random error about a symbolic variable that was
automatically created.
