- hdevalence 13y agoSAGE is still going very strong. numpy/scipy have very many more users, but I don't think that they're really comparable: they're aimed at numerical computation for science, while SAGE aims to be a do-everything tool for mathematics. All of scipy/numpy is actually included in SAGE, and you can interoperate between numpy stuff, and, say, exact rational arithmetic, or group theory, etc.

- bentoner 13y agoSage is going strong. Their new cloud service https://cloud.sagemath.com/ https://cloud.sagemath.com/ is fantastic (multiplayer ipython omg). Amusingly, they are also going partially-closed source: http://sagemath.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/what-is-sagemathcloud.html http://sagemath.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/what-is-sagemathclou...
