SETL was used for an early implementation of the programming language [[Ada (programming language)|Ada]], named the NYU Ada/ED translator.<ref>{{cite book |first1=Robert B.

According to [[Guido van Rossum]], "[[Python (programming language)|Python]]'s predecessor, [[ABC (programming language)|ABC]], was inspired by SETL -- [[Lambert Meertens]] spent a year with the SETL group at NYU before coming up with the final ABC design!"<ref>[http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-August/008881.html Python-Dev: SETL (was: Lukewarm about range literals)]</ref>
