- grumpyprole 4y agoML was designed in the 70s by Robin Milner to replace all the LISP code he had. Just like LISP it was designed for symbolic manipulation. They are far more similar than you are giving them credit for; and usually recognised as part of the same family tree. The System F calculus also has a "totally different approach to types" but it evolved from the Lambda calculus. ML and Haskell are based on System F and its successors.
