What Hacker News says
3 sourcesOf interest may be my project that implements a CLIM-based user interface on top of Maxima. It turns out that CLIM is perfect for this, as its idea of presentation forms matches the way mathematical expressions are represented in Maxima.
I have made a few videos showing how it works. It's also available on Flathub, or if you're brave you can build it yourself.

In Maxima – A Computer Algebra System built with LispThe McCLIM project implements this user interface and can be used today: https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/
It's still a work in progress, but a lot of progress have been made recently. What is really needed is more applications, and we invite anyone who's interested to play around with it and perhaps build something for it.
I have implemented a user interface for Maxima that uses McCLIM, taking advantage of many of the same features shown in the original post: https://github.com/lokedhs/maxima-client
