- Description:
-
- SML is a functional programming language with a very powerful and flexible
- data-typing mechanism, abstract data-types, and imperative features to make
- ``real-world'' programming possible.
-
- The ability to do incremental compilation, and the powerful type-checking
- make it excellent for rapid prototyping. With the native compilers available
- for larger machines, industrial scale applications can be developed with an
- efficiency comparable to fancy Smalltalk or LISP systems etc.
-
- !Sml is a Wimp Multi-Tasking Front end for Edinburgh Standard ML which uses
- the Acorn TaskWindow Module to run the language on the desktop.
-
- WARNING: SML is not in the public domain. To use this software legitimately
