8 Of course, it's not a toy. To a large degree, it's a large collection of
9 existing software, "Gentoo of maths", with its own package system. And it
10 includes maxima, fricas, pari/gp, gap, singular, R, and many other
11 systems. They are all integrated together to some degree, so, sage is
12 somewhere in between a monolythic CAS (maxima, reduce, fricas,...) and
13 just a collection.

15 It would be interesting to make reduce one of its packages, too.
