What is ML?

ML (which stands for Meta-Language) is a family of advanced programming
languages with [usually] functional control structures, strict semantics,
a strict polymorphic type system, and parametrized modules. It includes
Standard ML, Lazy ML, CAML, CAML Light, and various research languages.
Implementations are available on many platforms, including PCs, mainframes,
most models of workstation, multi-processors and supercomputers. ML has
many thousands of users, is taught at many universities (and is the first
programming language taught at some).
