Upvoted. I have a love/hate relationship with Mathematica, but it is so far ahead of its time in a lot of ways. It's like Jupyter Notebooks dialed up by 100 and fully integrated with everything from linear algebra to calculus to graphics to graph theory to plotting to optimization and machine learning so on. I just find the functional like language (a term rewriting system) to be hard to grasp at times and it being a commercial product means it will eventually lose out in some ways.
