> What is the S language?

The S language is an interpretive language for manipulation
of data.  It is kinda object oriented, with arrays and matrices.
It is very useful for statistical stuff and makes really nice
plots of data in various ways.  I think Gnuplot is a good start
in trying to make an S-like package.  It has good plotting
features, I think it just needs to be expanded to handle complex
data sets.
