Re: Status of SML/NJ

Dear Volkert,

I'm not the authorative person to answer your questions, but I can
answer some of them.

It is a language for message-passing (vs. shared memory) concurrency.
There is a paper describing its implementation on multicore machines,
"Parallel Concurrent ML", available at

http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~jhr/papers/cml.html

And there is a book:

There is binding called mGtk but as far as I know it is not maintained.

Unfortunately smlserver.org does not work at the moment.

I hope this helps. What would be your project?
