Key differences between SAS and Scheme
Characteristic | SAS | Scheme |
---|---|---|
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. | Scheme has a simple and minimalistic syntax with a focus on functional programming. It uses parentheses for function calls and has a prefix notation. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural programming language with support for data manipulation and analysis. | Scheme is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and recursion. It also supports procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | SAS is a statically typed language with implicit type conversion. | Scheme is a dynamically typed language with support for strong typing. |
Performance | SAS is optimized for data manipulation and analysis tasks. It provides efficient processing of large datasets. | Scheme is not optimized for performance-intensive tasks. It focuses more on expressiveness and simplicity. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and reporting. | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to SAS. It is often used in academic and research settings. |
Community and support | SAS has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support resources. | Scheme has a smaller community compared to SAS. It is primarily used in academic and research communities. |
Learning curve | SAS has a moderate learning curve. It requires understanding of its specific syntax and concepts related to data manipulation and analysis. | Scheme has a steep learning curve for beginners due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. |
