I find that the biggest practical issue with using GCC's analyser is that it's just so darn difficult to set it up and have readable output. Have you considered focusing on this a …

I'm quite surprised to hear this. What do you get from GCC's analyser that Clang's static analyser doesn't already report? I tried to use GCC's analyser several times, but I couldn…

There's lots of ideological discussion here. I would have loved to read some experiences based on actually trying the thing ! You don't have to settle for the command line. It work…

Now you can give it a try easily. Why don't you? Maybe you will discover a new world ;-) Don't think of Mathematica as a computer algebra system. It is much more than that, fully c…

For practical purposes, nothing. If you have used Mathematica in the past, and know what it is: the "Wolfram Engine" is basically the Mathematica kernel. Note that this free versio…

"I’m a representative sample of my fellow software engineers" I'm a bit puzzled about how strongly you seem to be feeling about this topic. Given your comments, you seem to be quit…

We were considering making http://matlink.org/ compatible with Octave. The feedback I got on this was part of why this wasn't done. To make MATLink user friendly, it needs to come …

Note that I'm not saying that one can claim that a result is correct, a theorem is true, etc. based on the fact that some undocumented algorithm produced it. That's clearly unaccep…

I guess it depends on one's field. I've never cited a software I didn't write myself, simply saying trust this software, here's the reference . I wouldn't trust a result from Sage …

I should add that every time I asked WRI support about implementation details, I did receive an answer with references to the method used.

My impression is that you don't hate to be that guy, but actually love to express this opinion. Open source systems like Sage always look desirable, simply by virtue of being open …

You need to get used to the notebook concept. In the end you'll find that it's much more convenient for interactive work than a traditional command line. For non-interactive work y…

Yes, I agree with you assessment :-)

"You import someone's changes to a local notebook" <-- there are no existing tools that reliably automate that. (I'm aware of the notebook diff utility in the AuthorTools package, …

Notebook interfaces are nice for interactive work (I love the concept and advocate for it), but they're no replacement for an IDE for writing packages. I spend most of my time in t…

The Front End isn't very good at taking the job of an IDE ... But it is a very good notebook interface (doesn't the notebook concept come from Mathematica originally?). Notebook in…

What will it be able to do that Mathematica won't have? (Will Mathematica also have cloud integration?) And what about the Discovery Platform and Data Science platform? How will th…

Thanks, that explaines it!

Can anyone enlighten me about why the title of the post got changed? I tried to squeeze all the relevant information in there, to make it easy for people to decide whether they're …
