> "It is not as slow as it sounds."

Yes, it is. 5%-10% in the very link you posted.

> "golang do heavy inline-ing"

No, it does not. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17566

> "most of its performance comes from concurrency"

That's just ridiculous. They didn't write all crypto and math in assembly just for nothing. Lumping bunch of slow function calls onto several threads is not where performance magically comes from. And you are confusing concurrency and parallelism.

1_000_000··on Computational Mathematics with SageMath (2018)
Maybe I misremember horribly, but I think I read somewhere that the original motivation for staring Sage was to provide an open source alternative to the proprietary tools. Do you still think it is an ideal worth of following?

And Sage has been (and is!) huge undertaking, which developments of the project surprised you most? Which parts of it you like most and which least?

In the name of many, many users thank you for starting it!

Honest question for core devs: why do you need my phone number and address to accept any code and pull requests?
