Talk:S (programming language)

Latest comment: 6 months ago by 193.166.223.5 in topic Is the original S "dead"?

How does this language compare to APL and/or LISP?

Read the paper from Becker (in PostScript format), as he discusses both these languages, and how they influenced the development of S. Probably the best way to compare the languages is to experience it first-hand. If you don't have access to S-PLUS, then get R, which is a GNU dialect of S. There are many many examples on the web showcasing R examples.+mwtoews 20:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you mean this one, then there is no relation. +mt 12:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

The link for "A Brief History of S" does not work as of today

Works for me. Do you have a PostScript reader/converter? +mt 16:24, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is the original S "dead"?

edit

In the release notes of R 4.4.0 it is said "is.R() is deprecated as no other S dialect is known to be in use." 193.166.223.5 (talk) 09:16, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
