S[1] is a statistical programming language developed primarily by John Chambers and (in earlier versions) Rick Becker, Trevor Hastie, William Cleveland and Allan Wilks of Bell Laboratories. The aim of the language, as expressed by John Chambers, is "to turn ideas into software, quickly and faithfully".[1] It was formerly widely used by academic researchers.,[2] but has now been superseded by the partially backwards compatible[3] R language, a part of the GNU free software project.[4] S-PLUS was a widely used commercial implementation of S that was formerly sold by TIBCO Software.
