Procedural languages that raise the level of abstraction well above the machine by building powerful data types into the language. Icon is a very high-level language based on goal-directed execution, in which an expression may produce a result or fail and the language backtracks, and SETL is a very high-level language based on the mathematical theory of sets, where programs manipulate whole sets as ordinary values. Both came from research settings in the 1960s and 1970s.
