  The author of the video works for Symbolics (or rather, for what's left of Symbolics today).

      Well, their arguments[1] are quite compelling in general, rest of the software[2][3] seems to be highly specialized and specific, I'm guessing there is a lot of maintenance that has to be done still. - [1] http://www.symbolics-dks.com/Genera-why-1.htm http://www.symbolics-dks.com/Genera-why-1.htm - [2] http://www.symbolics-dks.com/Macsyma-1.htm http://www.symbolics-dks.com/Macsyma-1.htm (general purpose symbolic-numerical-graphical mathematics software product) - [3] http://www.symbolics-dks.com/PDease-1.htm http://www.symbolics-dks.com/PDease-1.htm (general purpose software that uses Finite Element Analysis to obtain numerical solutions to a large class of partial differential equations)

      I believe those instructions do not work anymore. There's a project on github that will build an appropriately old ubuntu vm that runs open genera pretty well provided you have the source. You can also find the source tarball without too much hassle on some torrent sites.
