It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more" "Many more" includes Octave as well. If you know python, then you can use only python in Sage, no need for learning anything new. Actually you do not need to install anything to use it: https://cloud.sagemath.com/ At Sage Math Cloud (SMC) besides Sage, you can access a terminal there and it has emacs already installed. Also you can ssh to their servers, and tramp with emacs locally works well connecting to it. That is what I use for research. Come to think about it, there is no ob-sage.el yet. I write my papers directly to LaTeX (and my collaborators write at SMC since they are not emacs users and it provides direct compilation and shows already the results) so I never thought about exporting to sage. Does someone have any plans for this? Jorge.
