TeXmacs CAS plugins for Mogan

#1

I’ve ported the following CAS plugins to Mogan:

  • maple

  • matlab

  • octave

  • octaveX

  • reduce

  • sage

and

  • tmpy

They work fine under macOS 14.8.3 on an M3 computer, and have been tested with Mogan v2025.2.x to v2026.2.0. There’s certainly room for improvement. Above all, documentation is still missing.

If there’s interest, I’m more than willing to share.

Cheers, Tilda

Nice to hear that! Good Job.

However, the following is my thoughts:

Most of these plugins are low-quality and that’s the reason why we removed them.

Please compare the Python plugin in Mogan v.s. the Python plugin in TeXmacs. You will see the difference, that is the lowest quality we can endure. Another important difference is: in Mogan, the plugin should be written in Goldfish Scheme (a programming language we maintained).

Also, these plugins do not have lazy loading mechanics, therefore, simply porting them into Mogan will bring severe performance issue (since you are using macOS with M3 Chips, performance problem is hard to “feel”!).
