it has the nicest calculator syntax (imho) among the tools i've tried (python/julia/array langs/matlab/etc...) with extensive docs for each function and a nice notebook interface, but i've never written a program in it that was longer than one expression.

It used to be pretty popular for mathematical modeling in quantitative finance.

Not industry, but it's pretty popular among theoretical physics researchers.
