S (programming language)

S is a statistical programming language developed primarily by John Chambers and (in earlier versions) Rick Becker and Allan Wilks of Bell Laboratories.

Researchers working at Bell Labs are credited with the development of radio astronomy, the transistor, the laser, the photovoltaic cell, the charge-coupled device (CCD), information theory, the Unix operating system, and the programming languages C, C++, and S.

John McKinley Chambers is the creator of the S programming language, and core member of the R programming language project.

The modern implementation of S is R, a part of the GNU free software project.

R is an implementation of the S programming language combined with lexical scoping semantics, inspired by Scheme.

S-PLUS, a commercial product, was formerly sold by TIBCO Software.

Up to that time, much of the statistical computing was done by directly calling Fortran subroutines; however, S was designed to offer an alternate and more interactive approach.

The first working version of S was built in 1976, and operated on the GCOS operating system.

At this time, S was unnamed, and suggestions included Interactive SCS (ISCS), Statistical Computing System, and Statistical Analysis System (which was already taken: see SAS System).

The name 'S' (used with single quotation marks until 1979) was chosen, as it is the common letter used in statistical computing, and is consistent with other programming languages designed from the same institution at the time (namely the C programming language).

When UNIX/32V was ported to the (then new) 32-bit DEC VAX, computing on the Unix platform became feasible for S. In late 1979, S was ported from GCOS to UNIX, which would become the new primary platform.

Many other changes to S took hold, such as the use of X11 and PostScript graphics devices, rewriting many internal functions from Fortran to C, and the use of double precision (only) arithmetic.

In 1991, Statistical Models in S (1991 White Book) was published, which introduced the use of formula-notation (which use the '~' operator), data frame objects, and modifications to the use of object methods and classes.
