It’s incredible how much of an understatement it is to say that F# and OCaml were “inspired” by Standard ML. They’re practically step-siblings, sharing more similarities than I could have ever imagined.
Edit: Obviously, F# is the step-sibling here, given its half-dotnet parentage. However, they’re all solid choices. Their spectacular type inference makes coding in them a very gratifying experience. I can only think of TypeScript as the closest to them among the more popular modern languages.
