Expanding this abbreviation conveys zero information. It’s a programming language named ML, and if you haven’t heard of it then giving the etymology of the name isn’t going to help.
- duckmysick 2y agoIt clarifies it's not something else I've heard of (markup language, machine learning). The ML abbreviation shares the space with other terms so it can be confusing. Compare it to HTML which is 1) more popular and 2) unique in the context of programming.
