Single Assignment C (SA-C) [pronounced "sassy"] is a member of the C programming language family designed to be directly and intuitively translateable into circuits, including [[FPGA]]s. To ease translation, SA-C does not include pointers and arithmetics thereon. To retain most of the expressiveness of C, SA-C instead features true n-dimensional arrays as first-class objects of the language.
