Fast! is a Microsoft Research language for tree transforms, the cool part is the "deforestation" where a sequence of functions can be transformed in to a single function.
What makes this cool is it isn't "runtime" composition; the generated C# code does the transformation in a single pass. For example a sequence of maps and filters would only loop over the list once.
