Re: [Maxima-discuss] Time for maxima in Web Assembly ??

[Robert D. <rob...@gm...>]

Assuming that the first order of business, to get a Common Lisp
implementation ported to web assembly, has been solved (I don't know
whether this is the case),  I think an interesting way forward with
Maxima would be to try to load subsets of the whole system, in order
to solve specific classes of problems.

E.g. just the parser and display code, or just the stuff for
polynomials, or just integrals, or just arithmetic. Ideally one could
load just enough stuff to target the class of problems one needs to
work on.

As it stands, the system definition for Maxima isn't very decomposable
-- I suspect it's pretty close to all or nothing. So an
incrementally-loadable system would necessitate some work on the
internal organization of the code.

I'm just thinking out loud here. Of course there are all kinds of
practical problems.

best,

Robert
