About Sisal
Sisal was created in 1983 by James McGraw and his team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It was developed to support high-performance numerical computing and to exploit parallel processing capabilities, aiming to provide a deterministic and efficient programming model for scientific applications.
Sisal's strengths included deterministic parallelism, efficient numerical computation, and absence of side effects. Its weaknesses were limited adoption, a steep learning curve, and less community support. Competitors included Fortran for numerical computing and functional languages like Haskell for parallel processing.
