Standard ML
     
         (SML) Originally an attempt by Robin Milner
         ca. 1984 to unify the dialects of
        {ML}, SML has evolved into a robust general-purpose language.
        Later versions have been maintained by D. B. MacQueen, Lal
        George , and J. H. Reppy
         at AT&T, and A. W. Appel
        .
     
        SML is {functional}, with {imperative} features.  It is
        environment based and {strict}.  It adds to ML the
        {call-by-pattern} of {Hope}, {recursive data type}s,
        {reference type}s, typed {exception}s, and {module}s.  (The
        "core" language excludes the modules).
     
        Standard ML is {polymorphic}ally typed and its module system
        supports flexible yet secure large-scale programming.
        {Standard ML of New Jersey} is an optimising {native-code
        compiler} for Standard ML that is written in Standard ML.  It
        runs on a wide range of architectures. The distribution also
        contains: an extensive library - The Standard ML of New Jersey
        Library, including detailed documentation; {Concurrent ML}
        (CML); {eXene} - an elegant interface to {X11} (based on
        {CML}); {SourceGroup} - a {separate compilation} and "{make}"
        facility.
     
        Implementations: {SML/NJ}, {POPLOG ML}, {Poly/ML}, {Edinburgh
        SML}, {ANU ML}, {Micro ML}, {lazy sml2c}.
     
        {sml2c} compiles to {C}.  See also {ML Kit}.
     
        Version 0.93 runs on {68000}, {SPARC}, {MIPS}, {HPPA},
        {RS/6000}, {Intel 386}, {Intel 486} and {Macintosh}.
