Data analysis?

[bobmonster]

Anyone know any good programming lanaguges for doing data analyais. Something that's got lots of libraries or built in functions for statistics and large data set manipulation.
My knowledge of the area is around 15 years old, and I'm hoping there's something new, excuiting and modern out there.

Have you checked out PSSP?

Or perhaps R?

R looks like it might be more fully implemented.

I have had some luck with R...and it runs on the SunGrid :)
