@Gaveuxifort I mainly use it for physics simulations. The biggest so far was 4 million particles with some quantum effects. The whole computation took less than 2 seconds

@Gaveuxifort I ran it on my pretty shitty 2.1 GHz laptop with 8 GB RAM. Didn't benchmark it in other languages as honesty I don't even know how I would implement some of the higher level Mathematica things in C. Obviously Mathematica has its flaws but it serves it's purpose
Part I think 3 of Mathematica fails.
So, I'm doing a plot. Initially, I hit the following error: "Value of option PlotRange -> {{3,19},{0,1.1}} is not All, Full, Automatic, a positive machine number, or an appropriate list of range specifications."
Me:Okay, let's change it to PlotRange -> Automatic, maybe I don't know what I'm doing.
Mathematica:"Value of option PlotRange -> Automatic is not All, Full, Automatic, a positive machine number, or an appropriate list of range specifications."
Me:Uh, what? Well then... Oh, please don't tell me it's because of a space in between.
Mathematica:"Value of option PlotRange -> Automatic is not All, Full, Automatic, a positive machine number, or an appropriate list of range specifications."
Me:Oooookay then, what's the problem?... oh wait, there's another space. Why is it that sensitive to whitespace though?

That fixed it. Then, when I tried to reproduce it, suddenly adding a space and reevaluating did not raise the error.
