From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Lobsters, shortened. Read the full thread on Lobsters.

I'm so very old. "ML" for me has always meant ML or one of its descendant languages. That it now has a new meaning that is more assumed than its classic one fills me with dread for the new generation with their long hair and rock music and yoloing.

For those who are confused between decades of buzzworthy computing (i.e. myself), the ML refers to '[Meta Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language))' , not 'Machine Learning'

excellent intro to SML. better than "Elements of ML programming" which if often listed alongside.
