All Python-based, developed originally by a number theorist (http://wstein.org), and with a rapidly growing team of developers (including John Cremona, who's contributed a lot of his code to Sage). The Python-dev team should be proud of the impact Python is having in scientific computing: python is without a doubt the leading tool for open source, high-level scientific codes (i.e. not Fortran/C), and growing. Thanks! I normally wouldn't announce this here, but please forgive the mini-spam (and let's continue off list if you are interested): http://wiki.sagemath.org/days8 Just contact me off list at Fernando.Perez at colorado.edu if you think you'd like to attend.
