Hi
I need to do some data analysis and think of using Pi 5.
I might be able to use Libre office "excel" but it's maybe too inflexible. Really need row by row level control.
So I am wondering if anyone has ported the sorts of languages that might help e.g. R studio, perl, awk or anything similar.
Thanks in advance
perl and awk are pretty much part of the infrastructure you might expect from any Linux installation.
They are pre-installed by default with RasPiOS Bookworm.
Code:

Similarly lots of database engines and query tools.
C/C++, Ruby, Pascal, Rust, Go, Python, FORTRAN, Algol. Probably Erlang and Haskell. And lots more...
And recently-published benchmarks in these forums show an RPi[5] board having many times the raw compute power of the Cray mainframes that used to be the Holy Grail of scientific computing.
There is no reason to think that an RPi[5] will impede your analysis by reason of hardware or software. It is a 'real' computer, and RasPiOS is a 'real' Operating System.
