I designed[1] a similar solution at Life360, and presented AWS Summit Toronto back in June. Slides here if anyone is interested [2].

Re:Mathics: A free, light-weight alternative to Mathematica on Saturday April 09, 2016 @10:19AM (#11461317)
Barrier of entry would be what I would consider the primary use case for using all of these vs Pandas and R.

If we look at Mathics only, it features a Mathematica compatible syntax which allows users familiar with the syntax to be up, running and productive with the tool much quicker.

Mathics also provides a notebook, however others do as well as optional downloads. R has RStudio, and you can use Jupyter for Pandas.
