    I'd like to introduce you to PHP, a rich environment, released as free software. It includes a programming language, an interactive shell(if you type code and then EOL), and extensive graphing capability. What's more, PHP comes with a spectacular collection of functions for mathematical and statistical manipulations, and everything in the whole world you could wnat to do -- with still more capabilities available in optional packages.

    PHP can do anything you want to do, and for free, and it's extremely fast with zend optimizer. I use it for all my shell scripts as well.

    #!/usr/bin/php -q
    oh yeah
