C has multi-dimensional arrays. True n-dimensional arrays, not arrays of
arrays.

I'm a REXX advocate, but it is a terrible language for Mathematics. The lack
of arrays is enough to take it off the table. C has a similar problem; it
has arrays, but the are one dimensional, and array of pointers are not
suitable alternatives to multi-dimensional arrays; try writing an efficient
transpose routine. I haven't looked at the STL to see how C++ stacks up in
that regard.
