I'm listening to an internal debate in our office and wondered if someone out there could give me an independent insight into the following:

GAMS vs Mathematica

1. Which is the better language? Why?
2. Which is easier to learn? Why?
3. Which of these two languages do new young things know, if any?

PS - our internal debate is very focussed on those specific languages because one faction uses GAMS only and the other faction uses Mathematica only, so a long debate about a third language is not going to help me much to find a path forward.....

PPS - I'm not a technie. I'm just someone who will manage the users of the output (so at least 2 steps removed from the coding) - so please use simple words in your answers
