Key differences between JavaScript and SAS

CharacteristicJavaScriptSAS
SyntaxJavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and parentheses. It is a loosely typed language, which means that variables do not need to be declared with a specific data type.SAS has a syntax that is similar to SQL and uses a combination of keywords, functions, and operators. It is a strongly typed language, which means that variables must be declared with a specific data type.
ParadigmJavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming styles.SAS is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts.
TypingJavaScript is a loosely typed language, which means that variables do not need to be declared with a specific data type.SAS is a strongly typed language, which means that variables must be declared with a specific data type.
PerformanceJavaScript is a high-level language that is interpreted at runtime, which can lead to slower performance compared to compiled languages. However, modern JavaScript engines have made significant improvements in performance.SAS is a compiled language, which can lead to faster performance compared to interpreted languages like JavaScript.
Libraries and frameworksJavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including React, Angular, Vue, and Node.js, which can be used for both front-end and back-end development.SAS has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has a strong set of built-in functions and procedures for data analysis and reporting.
Community and supportJavaScript has a large and active community of developers, which means that there are many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.SAS also has a large community of users, but it is more focused on enterprise-level users and may not have as many resources available for individual developers.
Learning curveJavaScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers who are already familiar with C-style syntax. However, the language can become more complex when working with advanced concepts like closures and asynchronous programming.SAS has a steeper learning curve compared to JavaScript, especially for developers who are not familiar with SQL or statistical analysis concepts.
