Duplication (or disambiguation)?

Are these the same?

.... although the homepage links are different:

So if they are different, it might be an idea to put Disambiguation links in.

Functional

This article duplicates the statement (from the website) that SaC is a functional language while strictly speaking it is not. The major issue is that SaC allows the use of variables which is clearly a form of state while according to the "definition" of functional languages here on wikipedia is the first golden rule for a functional language. It might be a good idea to make it clear that SaC can convert its syntax into a functional description but the description itself is not strictly functional (although perhaps applicative). Addendum: SaC does not have a notion of global state but only local state, this is indeed like a functional language, although the use of c-like 'variables' is more of the 'syntactic sugar'.
