Re: [sage-devel] Hacker news thread about math software ("Announcing Wolfram Programming Lab")
I am not a Mathematica user, so I cannot really comment about Mathematica's flaws (Incidentally, I remember some years ago someone built a system to feed random input to CASes, with which he found many mathematical bugs in the big Ms. I wonder if he's still doing it?) But the fact that it is a black box should be a showstopper for any serious use in research.

Re: [sage-devel] Hacker news thread about math software ("Announcing Wolfram Programming Lab")
I think it is somewhat disheartening to see Mathematica accepted as a program whose major or only flaw is that it is not open source. But maybe I didn't read all the comments. It seems that the ycombinator contributors tend to rattle on a while.

It's somewhat refreshing to see that the idea that one should not use black box software in science is finally starting to sink in.
