Python was created by a Dutch guy who is a big fan of Monty Python (where the name comes from). Python is the only one that was not developed at a university. In 2000 the University of Auckland released the first version of R, a programming language primarily focused on statistical modeling and was open sourced under the GNU license. was founded, which was bought by IBM in 2009. It was developed in 1968 at the University of Stanford and eight years later the company SPSS Inc. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences ( SPSS) was developed for the social sciences and was the first statistical programming language for the PC. In 1976 the company SAS was founded as the demand for such software increased. The abbreviation SAS stands for Statistical Analysis System. SAS was developed at the North Carolina State University and was primarily developed to be able to analyse large quantities of agriculture data. And even if they haven’t (yet), most commercial software packages (including SAS and SPSS) make it possible to connect to R and Python nowadays. In recent years, some of our clients migrated from using SAS or SPSS to using R and/or Python. However, the interest for the open source languages R and Python is increasing. Of these SAS and SPSS are probably the most used. When we’re working for clients we mostly come across the statistical programming languages SAS, SPSS, R and Python.
