S programming language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S is a statistical programming language developed primarily by John Chambers and (in earlier versions) Rick Becker and Allan Wilks of Bell Laboratories. The aim of the language, as expressed by John Chambers, is "to turn ideas into software, quickly and faithfully".
There are two implementations of S; a free implementation, the R programming language, and a commercial implementation, Insightful's S-PLUS.
