They will, of course, have to reinvent a lot though. I would strongly
recommend that programmers choose a more suitable language (e.g. an ML
derivative, excuse the pun) to write CAS programs in.


I don't agree, many CAS algorithms are already available as
C/C++ libraries, therefore C++ users do not have to reinvent
more than in other languages. The fact that C++ would not be a
suitable langage for CAS development is a myth, not reality.
