Thanks. I've created an issue to add mathics support (via the Jupyter kernel) to SageMathCloud: https://github.com/sagemathinc/smc/issues/417 It's awesome that there's a free open source Mathematica-like program now.

Great idea!

I'm working on a fully featured jupyter kernel that will eventually get merged into the main Mathics repo [1]. I was planning to inquire about some hosting in a couple of weeks (once my exams are over and I have a chance to finish the jupyter kernel off).

Edit: [1] https://github.com/sn6uv/Mathics/tree/jupyter

Mathics is a similar project, although the aim is to be an open source interpreter of the Wolfram (Mathematica) language.

It's analogous to the Octave/Matlab relationship.

The development team is also much smaller; I'm the only one contributing regularly to Mathics at the moment. Happy to answer questions.
