SymPy turns "maths" into "programming", using python syntax instead of maths syntax, so if you already like programming, then you might just like SymPy... but as someone who likes maths, and likes programming: the programming maths parts is also the mind numbing part, and any line fewer I can write, I will take. So to me, this article just confronts me with the soul-destroying parts of modern maths, while claiming that those are apparently the fun bits. I have no idea how to reconcile those two things so I can pass that learning on to someone who might be getting interested in maths...
