Matlab has a few decades of applications that are not (yet) in Euler,
though
Euler has a long history too (starting in 1988 on Atari ST!).
Euler may be technically superior in some ways; certainly it should have
benefited from the experience of Matlab. And it certainly does include
maxima.
But it seems to be only partly "integrated". e.g. all commands that begin
with a ":"
are shipped to maxima, and the results returned as strings, which can then
be
re-parsed and evaluated by Euler.
A more integrated approach would, for example, allow the matrix commands to
work, even if the matrix were not entirely numerical.
On the plus side, it appears that Euler may be implemented mostly in Euler.
should there perhaps be a Maxima to Euler route, for people who start in
Maxima?
Also it seems that Euler runs on Windows as the main version, and the Linux
version runs under "wine" but then without maxima.
