I guess it is better for general purpose programming as well.
I have tried R for general purpose stuff and it was not great.
Even for loops are implemented poorly.
But I find it a lot better for simple processing of data.

I don't know man. The default windows calc? R? Matlab?

Wait, no, Matlab sucks.

>>56308689
matlab is an amazing tool.
But it is not a good calculator.

I rarely need a calculator for programming...
but mathematica for math and physics

>>56308753
But R does everything that Matlab does and with less resources

>>56308869
No it doesn't.
If you use matlab as a scripting tool, then maybe.
But matlab does so much more.
The toolboxes allow you to do a lot of advanced calculations without writing anything yoursellf.
You can generate code by using block diagrams as you would explain the topic.
There is so much you can use matlab for that isn't just scripting.

If you just need a nice equation typesetting program, you have tons of options-- Libreoffice/Openoffice has one built in, there's also MathML and TeX.

If you want to document a mathematical process so it's easily repeatable, I'd just include source code (Python, or Matlab if you're a pleb.) This is probably better than having your calculator export a log of your session, as it's easier for others to repeat.
