About Sml
Standard ML (SML) was developed in the early 1980s as a part of the LCF project at the University of Edinburgh. It aimed to provide a robust and expressive language for theorem proving and formal verification. The language evolved through collaboration among researchers and was standardized in 1990.
Strengths of SML include its strong type system, type inference, and pattern matching, which enhance code safety and correctness. Weaknesses involve a steeper learning curve and less widespread industry adoption. Competitors include Haskell, OCaml, and F#.
