Hi folks.
How difficult would it be to implement Mathematica in Haskell?
I mean, I really like Mathematica, but it costs over £2,000. I can't really afford to pay that much for something that's only really a "toy". (It's not like a *need* it for anything, I just like playing with it.)
You might want to try maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ and TeXmacs http://www.texmacs.org/ for a nice and open source CAS solution. A TeXmacs interface to ghci might be a fun project if someone were bored and would certainly spice up the screenshots on the ghc page. :) John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
