Point - in fact, a very good point. Waldek isn't joining this fray so
far, but I'll quote from
http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/fricas/fricas-reg.html
"FriCAS will use traditional methodology for new developement and
gradually convert other files back to traditional form..."
(as opposed to literate form, if I understand his statement correctly.)
"FriCAS will use lightweight developement, allowing much faster
evolution."
That seems to be sufficiently different from Axiom as I have understood
it to be defined to merit a separate project. (And is probably a good
canditate for a description on the Axiom website.) In my opinion, it is
also to lead to a system which will diverge quite rapidly from Axiom's
current form. Since Axiom itself will be diverging from its current
point (although probably more slowly) compatibility is likely to be a
difficult goal to strive for. Particularly if one or both projects
start re-examining fundamental design decisions.
I have seen no responses to my previous question, which I think defines
the issue: are there defining goals of Axiom the project that should
result in development in directions incompatible with those goals
becoming new projects?
Cheers,
CY
