Mostly for visualisations, but having a standardised reference for 2d and 3d transforms has come in handy too.
Admittedly, visuals aside, rust does most of the mathematical heavy lifting
Edit to note I'm not employed in data science, so I have a lot more wiggle room for things to go wrong
Ive had surprising luck with Godot for basic things, complimenting it with rust or opengl for higher performance
Pretty sure I saw on the arch wiki you can even use exclusive vram on a system
Pipes can't freeze if they're halfway to boiling, I like your thinking
Pissed off pedestrian matters until they're out of your rear view, pissed off boss could mean losing housing, food security
Me opening rpgmaker to do some matrix multiplication
I would uh consider that pretty in deep gamedev, even lower than some shader code lmao - so yes you would need to know some math.
Cracking open Godot and using a bunch of premade assets hardly even requires programming, much less mathematical knowledge
Depends on the industry and depth you want to go to, gamedev for example you can do without any, but all lower level custom graphics and physics are pretty calculus heavy.
Website dev can be entirely independent of math
Ipfs would be similar but more purpose based
"Improve user experience" tends to mean if you're poor, the lowest level of hell isn't gonna compare to how shitty of an experience they'll give you
Man that's a lot of weed
Probably should have elaborated more in the original comment, but essentially I'm not a professional so the freedom of creating custom UI + having some standard variable structures like 2d and 3d transformations are worth it.
It also has a python-eqsue language, good build in ide, documentation, generic GPU access, and most importantly personally is extremely cross platform.
Mostly visualisations though, with rust doing the actual legwork
