[comp.lang.scheme] ML info

windley@IRIS.UCDAVIS.EDU (Phil Windley) (07/02/88)

I seem to remember some discussions about ML in this group several months
ago.  Does anyone know of work on concurrent/multiprocessing versions of ML
or object-oriented extensions to ML?  ML seems close enough in spirit to
Scheme that something like SCOOPS could be used as a model.

 I am working on a parallel version of CAML (the local dialect of ML).
It is an extension of a strict+lazy system (like MultiLisp), it runs
on a shared memory multiprocessor (a Sequent Balance).
 I don't know any object-oriented extension of ML. The static (compile-time)
polymorphic type-checking of ML and objects don't work well together. But
see Luca Cardelli's languages Amber and Quest.

In the upcoming Lisp & FP conference, there is a paper by John Mitchell
and Lelita Jategoankar (spelling?) on ML+, an object oriented extension
to ML.
