I haven't found a better CLI calculator utility for writing more than one-liner numerical stuff with some plots than MATLAB and octave. They're fantastic.

Python is trash, by comparison.

You think MATLAB is better than (checks notes) a scripting language for writing one liners/throwaway code? Is that what you're saying here? Lol

1000% yes, because this kind of stuff is not oneliners and you don't want to throw it away.

You also don't have the rats nest that is python environment and package management.
