In my experience so far, SML hit a really sweet spot between ease of learning and features. I never had a "what would I use this for?" moment. Kotlin comes close, but is less elegant and especially lacks full pattern matching. Unfortunately, sml is used approximately nowhere. Not sure why, but I also haven't used ocaml yet. Maybe one day. My hosting provider (hcoop.net)'s domtool is written in SML, and I hope to hack on it at some point.
