- visarga 9y agoWhat other meaning did it displace?
- grzm 9y agoLikely they're referring to ML, the programming language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_%28programming_language%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_%28programming_language%29
- rococode 9y agoI'm curious, did people ever actually refer to those languages as ML? I've taken classes in Standard ML ("SML") and OCaml and I don't think we ever called them just "ML" besides acknowledging in the intro that ML the official family of languages that those dialects fall under.
- weavie 9y agoI generally view ML as a family of languages, generally consisting of algebraic data types, pattern matching, first class functions, currying, idiomatically functional.. Members are Standard ML, Ocaml, F#, Elm, Haskell, and to a lesser degree Rust.
