@joyfulSilence: The SAS language originated in 1966. It was designed for non-programmers to easily learn only what they needed to analyze their specific data sets. C++ was originally designed to add the object oriented programming model from SIMULA67 to C. C was designed for software engineers to rewrite the UNIX kernel and related apps in a portable language, which explains the vastly different user experiences of C++ and SAS.
