Key differences between SAS and Erlang
Characteristic | SAS | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | SAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. It has a verbose syntax with a focus on data manipulation and analysis. | Erlang has a simple and concise syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural language with support for some object-oriented programming concepts. | Erlang is a functional programming language with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Typing | SAS is a dynamically typed language. | Erlang is a dynamically typed language. |
Performance | SAS is optimized for data manipulation and analysis tasks. | Erlang is optimized for building highly concurrent and fault-tolerant systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and machine learning. | Erlang has libraries and frameworks for building concurrent and distributed systems. |
Community and support | SAS has a large and established community with extensive support resources. | Erlang has a smaller but active community with good support resources. |
Learning curve | SAS has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and extensive functionality. | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
