Perfect!! This political correctness of the language, which has become a big issue in my mother tongue, German, only serves to distract from the real problems. On Tue 18. Jul 2023 at 12:14, Hanspeter “Hanspi” Schmid < hanspeter.sch...@fhnw.ch> wrote: > Somehow I find this very disturbing. Why

Somehow I find this very disturbing. Why does everyone seem to be so sure that master must be understood (and therefore shunned) as half of master-slave instead of half of master-apprentice or master-bachelor or master-junior? Am I from now on forbidden to master a technique? Should I stop

I'm not opposed to doing this. Most other projects have also done it, so it would be inline with that. It also has the advantage that "main" is a much clearer term to newbies than "master". But note that this is not a trivial thing to do, which is why it hasn't happened yet. It's not as simple as

[sympy] We should rename 'master' to 'main'

I think that github decided to do that in 2020. And the main reason to do this is that 'master' is agreed to be politically offensive terminology: Rename offensive terminology (master) - Simon Pieters (kernel.org)

I'm hopeful that this will. It seems to automatically go for SymPy whenever faced with a math problem, or at least one that uses symbolic math (it also uses NumPy when it can). The only downside is that the code interpreter hides the code by default, so people won't be able to see that it is using

Nice. Are there any chances that ChatGPT may add visibility to SymPy? I feel like a lot of people who could be potential users of SymPy don't know of SymPy's existence. On Monday, July 10, 2023 at 4:35:00 p.m. UTC+2 Aaron Meurer wrote: > Interesting update on this. I asked ChatGPT with code
