The Raspberry Pi 5 is equipped with a FREE version of the 21st century software environment Mathematica (also called Wolfram Language).
DOWNLOAD the notebook here: https://www.romeny.ai/nb/intro.nb.
You will be amazed of the powerful applications, the ease of programming, the versatility and speed of Mathematica!

This set of tutorials about 21st Century Coding is brought to you by Bart ter Haar Romeny, an emeritus professor of Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, with over 30 years of experience in Mathematica, medical image analysis, computer vision and deep learning.

This video is a gentle introduction to programming in Mathematica.
Check out the many other videos on this channel, on many topics and applications.

You will discover that:
it is very close to English
you really can write your code in 21st century style, a modern user interface (like Microsoft 365 / Office, pdf's), formulas like in textbooks, images directly in your code
the code is typically very short, easily explainable to others, no abbreviations, very careful naming of functions
Mathematica code is fast!

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5, 4 GB, Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit), SD card 64 GB. Software: Mathematica 13.3.1 (ARM Linux, 64 bit).

How to install Mathematica: Open the applications menu (upper left Raspberry symbol) -- Preferences -- Recommended Software -- Programming -- mark the little square behind Mathematica -- Apply. That's all! (it will take a few minutes, it is 1GB).
