Using ML in "Real-World" Applications

I really liked learning ML at college. I find functional programming often a refreshingly elegant way to write certain algorithms. I have heard of F# and played around with that a bit. Still, I've written some interesting functions in ML and would like to integrate them as libraries I could use in other applications.

Usually I paste my functions into the SMLnj interpreter. Is there a way I can compile them down?

Solution

  • You will have to use something like the MLj Compiler. It compiles to Java Byte code. Or you can use the SML.NET compiler to compile to .NET IL.
