fyi, there is new video showing Maple's 2025 new interface

It seems oriented to document mode which I do not use. May be they also improved worksheet mode.

I am still getting my Maple desktop getting shuffled few times each day where I have to close Maple and reopen it to clear it. I hope they fixed this in the new interface.,

To Maplesoft,

Please consider changing the name from Maple to something else.

It is almost impossible to search for anything related to maple, since google keeps giving results about trees called Maple in Canada and about some maple syrup products which I have no interest in at all.

One has to go through pages and pages of links looking for a real Maple software hit.

I know the name Maple has been around for long time, but a new unique name will make searching easier and people will get used to the new name very quickly (may be in 1-2 years).

Some examples:

I know when Maple was created almost 40 years ago, the inernet itself was not even here (I forgot when VP. Gore created the internet but I think that was in early 90's), and search was not thought about then.

But these days, the ability to search for something and to easily find it is very important for companies and having a unique name for Maple will make it also much more popular and easier to find things about it instead of finding  information about Maple syrup and Maple trees all the time.

This is posted  under product suggestions.

I did not see such a post for 2023 so I am starting one.

What is your 3 top bug fixes or improvements  you would like to see in Maple 2023? 

Here are mine

1. Fix timelimit so that it completes at or near the time requested and not hang or take 10 hrs when asked to timeout after say 30 seconds.
2. Fix the large amount of server crashes and the many random hangs when running large computation that takes long time. i.e. Make Maple more robust.
3. Allow the user to remove output from worksheet while it is still running (Evaluate->Remove output from worksheet)

Maple is a nice language and has many nice functions. But it is the usability part of Maple that leaves many bad impressions because of these things that should really have been fixed by now given how long  Maple software have been around.

Any chance to have "Evaluate->Remove Output From Worksheet" become active and usable when one is still running something in the worksheet?  May be in 2023 version?

This is something that has been missing in Maple for ages.

Maple definitely slows down when the worksheet becomes full of output (from print messages) when a command has been running for long time. Now there is no way to remove the output in the worksheet until the command completes which can take hours. May be this slow down because the scrolling/writing to the worksheet slows down, and this affects how long it takes to complete as the engine is waiting for the frontend to finish writing to the worksheet?. I do not know. I just know Maple slows down when this happens.

I do not understand why Maple can't implement this. Is there a tehnical reson which will make removing current output in the worksheet not possible while a command is running?

According to Wikipedia

"In computing, a programming language reference or language reference manual is
part of the documentation associated with most mainstream programming languages. It is
written for users and developers, and describes the basic elements of the language and how
to use them in a program. For a command-based language, for example, this will include details
of every available command and of the syntax for using it.

The reference manual is usually separate and distinct from a more detailed
 programming language specification meant for implementors of the language rather than those who simply use it to accomplish some processing task."

And no, Maple's Programming guide is not a Language reference manual. This is a guide to how to program in Maple. But it is not reference manual for the language itself. i.e. description of the Language itself.

Examples of Language reference manuals are

C

Original C++ 

Python

Ada

Fortran 77

and so on.

Why is there no LRM for Maple? Should there be one? I find Maple semantics sometime confusing, and many times I find how things work by trial and error. Having a reference to look at will be good. 

I know for a language as large as Maple, this is not easy to do. But it will good for Maplesoft to invest into making one.
