So I'm currently learning SML for school and it's.... bizarre. I can honestly say that I've never coded with something like SML in my life. It seems kind of similar to Python.

Have any of you guys coded with SML before? What is it even used for in today's age??

[Synthx]

I never even heard of it until now. I looked at some example code, and I gave up, lol.

Never heard of it, either. Obscure for a reason?

Very interesting. On some points it seems very simple and on others I'd rather learn x86 asm. Very interesting language. I feel like I've heard of it once or twice but never looked into it.

Have fun lmao

x86 ASM is fairly simple, just tedious. Most people are scared of ASM(s) because they think it's complex; however, it's really simple, you just need a lot of lines to do anything. In fact, it must be simple, or it would make processor design very hard.

If I recall correctly, ML is known for generic programming. I like how the keyword of 'fun' was used for functions; I wanted to use it in a scripting language I was writing, and I didn't see it anywhere before that... Whelp, now I've found ML.
It doesn't look like a language that I'd really enjoy, but for some odd reason, it reminds me of Scala. (which seemed nicer though)

Never used It and don't think I ever will.

Those Interested, here's the official site.

Yeah I'm pretty much with all of you, it's seems to obscure that it almost seems impractical.

@ender ironically, we are learning Scala next xD

IIRC @Valkyrie said that it sucks, good luck

I (barely) prefer Scala over Java, but it's still a bastard to work with.

SML looks pretty annoying too. I have a friend in U of T S.Eng and their class had to learn Racket to assess how well they can write code based purely off language specs and documentation, so this might be similar.
