SaC or SAC (Single Assignment C) is a statically typed functional programming language developed with the goal of offering high-performance array programming through a compiler with C or FORTRAN-like syntax. Like APL, all data is contained in (possibly scalar) arrays. Arrays are considered equivalent to nested lists as in leading axis theory but, because these lists must have homogeneous length and type, true array nesting is not possible. The authors have used SaC to compile APL programs and found it to be faster than APL+Win on several test programs.[1]
