Compared to Mathematica, which has an installer, and a cloud version. Docker image does sound useful, for a more technical user.

- indymike 4y agoExpecting a project like this to come out of the box with the polish of a decades old tool isn't quite fair is it?
- BrenBarn 4y agoBut if it doesn't, then it's not really an alternative to Mathematica.
- aussieshibe 4y agoThat's quite subjective. To someone with no money to spend, Mathematica isnt really an alternative to Mathics.
- __ryan__ 4y agoIs a pen not an alternative to a pencil? Different features and tradeoffs; it depends on preference and context. If anything it’s less of an alternative if there’s no differences, otherwise it would be byte-for-byte Mathematica and you’d be unable to choose between the two.
- indymike 4y agoPerhaps it isn't for some things or if you can't install it. But that's really dependent on use case and user, isn't it?
- nsxwolf 4y agoWell, I bought Mathematica decades ago, from the university book store. It came in a box and had an installer.
- __ryan__ 4y agoThen it’s an alternative for technical users.
