Dear SMLer,

it is more than 13 years ago that i used sml/nj i a research project. I was
a student at that time and it was a great fun to work mit sml/nj. I now
starting a long term "homegrew" project and i am not sure if i should give
sml/nj a try or if i should go with some more "modern" and "active"
languages like scala, haskell or erlang.

Here are some quesitions:

- Is there a concurrency / multi-core support? I am not sure what "cml"
exactly is. 
- Is there some gui support? wxWindgets-Bindings oder Gtk-Bindings?
- Is there some ssl support for socket communication.
- Is there something like a http-server/client for sml/nj?
- Is there database support? postgres or mysql?
- Will there a sml/nj compiler in 10 or 20 years? 
- How large is the community?
- What are projects where sml/nj is used today? 

Volkert
