'''SAIL''', the '''Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language''', was developed by Dan Swinehart and Sproull of the [[Stanford AI ProjectLab]] in 1970. It was originally a large ALGOL 60-like language for the DEC-10 and DEC-20.
 
SAIL's main feature is a symbolic data system based upon an associative store (originally called LEAP). Items may be stored as unordered sets or as associations (triples). Other features include processes, events and interrupts, contexts, backtracking and record garbage collection. It also has block-structured macros, a coroutining facility and some new data types intended for building search trees and association lists.
