have you looked at mythryl: http://www.mythryl.org/ ?


No, I haven't, but does it add more to ML than a bunch of syntax changes? It looks like an attempt to make ML more palatable to programmers familiar with C and Java. I skimmed the docs on that site and saw that it does have ML-style modules and functors, but does it also include something like typeclasses? I thought combining the two was still almost an open research question, although tbh I haven't slogged through this paper yet: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/modules-classes.pdf

To be completely honest, I'm a little skeptical given that the first page in the "Mythryl for SML programmers" highlights adding special-cases to the front-end to support printf: http://www.mythryl.org/my-Mythryl_printf.html I don't really miss printf in SML, although if I wanted it I think I would rather reach for this kind of type hackery instead: http://mlton.org/Printf
