Scientific Programming Language

Powerful mathematics-oriented syntax with built-in 2D/3D plotting and visualization tools

Free software, runs on GNU/Linux, macOS, BSD, and Microsoft Windows

Drop-in compatible with many Matlab scripts

I used this back in the day after i left university with free MATLAB.

Very functional, but struggled (8 years ago was the last I tried) with large datasets, especially variable exploring. It also was missing signal processing and filtering libraries back then.

I had since switched to python with numpy, Pandas, scipy, and matplotlib and it is phenomenal.

I would try it out because it has probably improved a ton, but Python is now available in excel (and it already was in libreoffice) for sharing scripts with people without python at work, so I don’t know if it is worth it lol.
