Topic: Symbolics.jl vs SymPy.jl

I'm interested in doing some symbolic math. I know SymPy from Python, and I just found out about Symbolics.jl. I was wondering if Symbolics can indeed be used as a replacement for SymPy. Does anyone know? By reading the documentation, it seems that it would be a viable candidate. If not, can anyone clarify why?

It probably isn't there yet, but hopefully some day. It's a ton of work to make a really good symbolic math system and SymPy has a big head start. There are potentially huge advantages to having symbolic math in pure Julia. I suggest you try Symbolics.jl out and see if it is adequate for your use case.
