I used to be a lisp head, sexps and paredit were so neat. Then I had a dan grossman sml mooc, it was the first time a language booted lisp outside my taste. Emacs sml/smie made indentation right. Very neat, I wish it could have a second coming.

Does make me ponder how much work it would be to get a new SML runtime built up overtop of LLVM. Assuming someone hasn't done it already. Ah, yeah, it's been worked on before, just found a paper: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~jhr/papers/2020/ifl-smlnj-llvm.pdf https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~jhr/papers/2020/ifl-smlnj-ll...

  MLTon has an LLVM backend which you can choose by passing a CLI flag. As always though, using LLVM makes the compilation slower.
