ML
1. Manipulator Language. IBM language for handling
robots.
2. Meta Language. R. Milner et al,
1973. A strict higher-order functional language. It
was the first language to include polymorphic typing which
was statically-checked. It also had garbage collection and
a formal semantics.
It began as the metalanguage for the Edinburgh LCF proof
assistant. (LCF="Logic for Computable Functions") People soon
noticed that ML could be a useful general programming language
and stand-alone versions were implemented. Standard ML
(SML) is a descendant of these (and related languages such as
Hope).
The "metalanguage" aspect has long since disappeared from the
language itself (although there are some systems that still
use it that way). The historical name is now so inappropriate
that asking what ML stands for is like asking what C or
Unix stands for. It doesn't stand for anything; it just is.
LCF ML was implemented in Stanford LISP. Cardelli (1981)
implemented ML in Pascal using the Functional Abstract
Machine (FAM). It has been significantly redesigned to
produce Standard ML and Lazy ML.
