An Invitation to SETL (Linux Journal)
The aim of this article is not to offer a thorough discussion of SETL internals or a comparisons with other languages. Rather it intends to show the strong points of SETL by using elementary examples to convince you of how useful it can be in the right setting. For example, SETL appears to be one of the most suitable environments in which to make Set Theory calculations on a PC. As most problems may be formulated using the sets formalism, SETL is a good choice for all those times when compactness and elegance are more relevant than speed or memory consumption."
