I'm, contrary to everybody else, going to comment just on this. My
favorite here is without a doubt R. r-recommended in Debian and
http://www.r-project.org/ on the web.
It has some minimal, but very cool, OO concepts (as opposed to e.g. the
proprietary IDL, which is supposed to be OO, but is (was) entirely
misunderstood), and has a very straightforward mapping between math and
code. E.g. for loops are unneeded in R, and that's actually a good
thing.
Highly recommended!
But the programming of it: I escape its use every time!
Just now had to do a regression in a program. Did it myself instead of
figuring out how to program R in the program!
