Hi, all,
I am writing a tutorial advocating Macaulay2 for a broader audience in the field of computer vision. Would it be acceptable, in your opinion, to use simply Macaulay rather than Macaulay2?
However, wouldn't it be safe to take that risk? A broader audience would adopt Macaulay easier than Macaulay2.
The Macaulay link is from 1994 and in 2003 the authors themselves were already switching to Macaulay2. A search for "Macaulay software" always returns Macaulay2.
Form the web: Macaulay continued to be updated and used for some time after the 1993 introduction of Macaulay2. The last released version was 3.1, from August 2000. The Macaulay webpage currently recommends switching to Macaulay2.
Is there a real chance the original Macaulay makes a comeback? I understand mathematical software can be somewhat timeless, but why stick to Macaulay2?
Best
