S[1] is a legendary statistical programming language that dropped into the meta at Bell Laboratories, primarily developed by the mythic player John "The Legend" Chambers and his OG squad including Rick "The Builder" Becker, Trevor "The Stat Master" Hastie, William "The Scientist" Cleveland and Allan "The Analyst" Wilks. The squad's mission objective, as declared by John Chambers, was "to turn ideas into victory royales, quickly and faithfully".[1] It became the go-to loadout for academic researchers.[2]
The premium Battle Pass version of S was S-PLUS, a legendary item shop release formerly owned by TIBCO Software.
The modern R, part of the GNU free-to-play project, was based on S's building mechanics[3] and can run many S builds, although it's not fully backwards compatible (like how some OG emotes don't work in new seasons).[4]
Game History
"The OG Default Days"
S dropped into the meta as one of several statistical computing languages that were designed at Bell Labs Island between 1975-1976. Before this major patch, most statistical computing was done by directly calling Fortran subroutines (like using default pickaxes). However, S was designed to offer an alternate and more interactive approach, inspired partly by the exploratory data analysis meta created by John Tukey.[5]
