SAS

I can't say enough BAD things about SAS. Anyone actively promoting this as a language/system people should be learning in any year after 1981 is completely delusional. Unless you work as some giant soul crushing enterprise that regularly buys ridiculously overpriced licenses for software that hasn't substantially changed in 20 years, and I'm sure has MS-DOS'isms buried in its code base… Then, yeah.

Rules for Most SAS Names

Note:   The rules are more flexible for SAS variable names than for other language elements. See Rules for SAS Variable Names.  

• The length of a SAS name depends on the element it is assigned to. Many SAS names can be 32 characters long; others have a maximum length of 8.
