Welcome

      

Welcome to a tour of the Standard ML programming language!

What is Standard ML?

Standard ML is a general purpose functional programming language. It is statically typed, which prevents a wide array of common programming errors, but also features powerful type inference, requiring few type declarations, if any. This makes it easy to build software that is easy to understand, extensible, and reliable.

There are free, full-program optimizing compilers for it, producing efficient native code, such as MLton . The concurrency extension ‘Concurrent ML’ provides support for communicating sequential processes , and is supported by SML / NJ and MLton.
