SAIL

   1. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. An important site in the
   early development of LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC,
   and  the  Unix  community,  one of the major wellsprings of technical
   innovation  and  hacker-culture traditions (see the {WAITS} entry for
   details).  The  SAIL  machines were shut down in late May 1990, scant
   weeks   after   the   MIT   AI   Lab's  ITS  cluster  was  officially
   decommissioned.

   2.  The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at SAIL (sense
   1).  It  was  an  Algol-60 derivative with a coroutining facility and
   some   new   data  types  intended  for  building  search  trees  and
   association lists.
