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.
Do it for the nostalgia, bro. I enjoyed using octave at uni as well. Gotta be some fun in there somewhere now. 😁
