OT: any recommendation for scripting language
Dear Experts, Thank you so much for your opinions. I probably will go with python. Following your suggestion, I started reading some tutorials but have a quick question. In the sense of statistical computing, is there anything that can be easily done with python but not with SAS/R? Could you please give such an example? Wish you all have a happy new year! wensui

Right now, I am using SAS and S+/R. As a new year resolution, I am planning to learn a scripting language. from statisticians' point of view, which scripting language is worth to learn, perl, python, or any other recommendation? (Most likely, I will be learning it in windows.) Since I am not in research, I will prefer one widely used in industry and related to statistical work. if you recommend one, I will really appreciate it if you could point out a good source for learning as well. thank you so much! Have a happy holiday. wensui
