Following up on http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3825705 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3825705 here because that comment is already too deeply nested and it is too late to edit (nee mutate) it in place. There was some fear expressed in the thread that development on MLton might have stopped, but going by this http://mlton.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mlton?view=revision&revision=7561 http://mlton.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mlton?view=revision&... (codegen bugfix checked in 6 weeks ago) it seems MLton alive and well, I am definitely happier now that it is. About its reasons for disappearing from the language shootout as mentioned here http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Locke1689 http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Locke1689 here is the explanation from its list http://mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2011-September/030962.html http://mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2011-September/030962.html I read a thread about their plans to move their list to sourceforge. Maybe that has not happened yet, that might explain why the last available mail-archive is from Oct 2011.
