Wolfram Mathematica is probably more expensive than that, but is pretty awesome in some ways and very consistent. Being able to build a graph network with just a single line of code where the vertices matched an image I dropped in was pretty cool and just one of a bazillion things it can do outside of just your calculus homework. The annoying side is that it costs money, is proprietary, and all that goes with it. I can sometimes do something in a single line of code or two that would take a lot more code in Python, but sometimes it's still just faster to do in Python as the Wolfram language is some kind of Term Rewriting System that is more like Lisp or Functional programming than imperative and sometimes I don't have the right mental model and it's hard to find answers on Stack Overflow. I think a lot of math academics love it. People use it in many fields too like engineering, economics...etc, but probably a bit niche. I assume most data science people are mostly doing Python now with a core group of stats folks still doing R or SAS or Minitab.
