It's a program/language mainly designed for diagrams, but it is relatively straightforward to write routines for basically anything you'd want to do in Python. I recommend having a look at Toby Thurston's introduction to get a feeling for it:

Even in Python I think that the plotting libraries leave much to be desired. I personally prefer to draw plots and diagrams using metapost. I generate the data in say Python and either import that in a metapost script or generate the necessary metapost code using a separate python file.

To add insult to injury, I just noticed that Virgin Media sent me an email stating the problem has been fixed.

If you haven't heard of CfH before: It's an online-by-design conference with a format focused around active discussion. It aims to bridge the gap between theory and observation. Present and discuss your cutting-edge research to researchers from around the world!

I can definitely recommend! His books are so much fun! And he's very quotable too; I'm fond of "With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince. With science, you can
turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with.” from "the science of discworld", I think.

I'm slowly making my way through the discworld novels, and he really had a way with words. The books are so wholesome and at the same time give such a nice breakdown of our society. Terry is missed.

A shame that the only gif of this scene has a typo, but what can you do?

Roffa! Fun fact, shortly after it was opened to the public the bridge started swaying in the wind during light rain, as little streams of water on the cables altered the bridge's resonant frequencies. This was resolved after stronger shock dampers were installed.
