SETL (SET Language) is a very high-level programming language[1] based on the mathematical theory of sets.[2][3] It was originally developed at the New York University (NYU) Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in the late 1960s, by a group containing (Jack) Jacob T. Schwartz,[1][3] R.B.K. Dewar, and E. Schonberg.[1] Schwartz is credited with designing the language.[4]
