St Andrews Static Language - (SASL) A functional programming language designed by Professor David Turner in 1976 whilst at St. Andrews University. SASL is a derivative of ISWIM with infinite data structures. It is fully lazy but weakly typed. It was designed for teaching functional programming, with very simple syntax.

Example syntax:

def fac n = n = 0 -> 1 ; n x fac(n-1)

A version of the expert system EMYCIN has been written in SASL.

SASL was originally known as "St Andrews Standard Language". Not to be confused with SISAL.
