Mathematica is a computational environment based off of a notebook like interface (think Jupyter Notebooks). It's programmed using the Wolfram language which is seriously cool and powerful. You can also just write Wolfram language scripts if you don't need to graph stuff.

You can literally take a screenshot of something on your computer and copy paste it into a Mathematica function for image recognition or whatever and it will take it. It's a lot like a lisp machine in some ways. You can do advanced symbolic calculus, optimization, ML, 3D visualizations, audio processing, geographic visualizations, it has an import function that can handle practically anything, connect to databases...etc etc, all in a consistent way. Worth a look.
