Some context,
I study maths, and we mostly define functions as f:Q->W, where Q indicates what variables may be entered into f, and W as what values may come out.
This can usually be done in multiple dimensions, like f:R^2->R^2 where f is dependent on two real variables and outputs two real values, for instance f(x,y) = ( x+y , x*y ).
My problem,
While Making a function dependent on multiple variables is currently possible, making one that outputs multiple values is not (as far as I could find).
This might not be important for (most) physics or everyday calculations, it is very commonly used in maths.
It would be amazing if this functionality could be added, or, if it already exists, if someone could explain how to create such a function.

Have you considered MATLAB, R or Python?
