ML seems to be a much more developer-friendly approach to me. Eager evaluation, no problem "escaping" to imperative code, no "purity". All the benefits of functional programming, a good type system, and a great module system.
I'm constantly sad that Standard ML is so outdated. No good tooling, no real unicode support, etc.
At least we have ocaml and F#.
- toastal 7y agoPureScript is an strict ML too and even closer to Haskell than F# and OCaml as it doesn't have the object-oriented bits and is pure (doesn't allow the same level of side effects like mutability as those two without the very explicit 'unsafe' functions).
