Libraries and frameworksLimited libraries, mainly focused on Office applications and automation.Extensive libraries and frameworks for statistical analysis, data mining, and reporting.
Community and supportLarge community due to its integration with Microsoft Office, with many resources available.Strong support from SAS Institute and a dedicated user community, but less widespread than VBA.
Learning curveGenerally easier to learn for beginners, especially those familiar with Microsoft Office.Steeper learning curve due to its specialized nature and complexity in statistical programming.
