Great book, though I recommend the SML version over C or Java for a clearer illustration of the concepts in code. Viewed side by side, the SML code looks concise and obvious vs. the long and wordy C/Java code. It just seems to lend itself better to the task, in that some of the pattern matching burden is already handled by SML.
