SETL-a very high level language oriented to software systems prototyping
Jack T. Schwartz · ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad · 1981
SETL, like APL, is a language which facilitates manipulation of large relatively abstract data objects, namely sets, vectors, and maps, whose elements may in turn be sets, vectors, or maps. This language has been used to develop executable prototypes of several large software packages, including a full compiler for the new DoD Ada language. This talk will describe the man semantic features of SETL, and assess its use as a software prototying tool.
