About:
Moscow ML is a lightweight, standards-compliant implementation of the ML programming language. It features a compiler that produces native code for several platforms and a robust module system for building maintainable software. It is particularly valued for its simplicity and efficiency in both educational and research contexts.
Key Features:
  • Strict, statically-typed functional language
  • Compiles to native machine code for performance
  • Supports the Module system (functors and signatures)
  • Includes the Moscow ML Window Toolkit (mTk) for GUIs
Use Cases:
  • Teaching functional programming concepts in academia
  • Prototyping algorithms and language research
  • Building lightweight command-line tools
Alternatives:
  • ocaml – OCaml is a more feature-rich, actively maintained dialect with a larger ecosystem and better tooling.
  • smlnj – SML/NJ is another standard implementation, though it uses a different compiler architecture and runtime.
