:).

But I'll check out SML. That's Standard ML, right?

You can just enclose all your function calls in parens :D

Also you probably want to check out OCaml rather than SML, I don't know that SML has much of a presence… anywhere really.

Yeah.

ML syntax is very pleasant, and roughly, sexprs w/o all the punctuation noise.

I don't believe it has a macro capability like lisps though, but you gain a sophisticated type helper.

Definitely worth looking into!

FWIW, SML is an old research-focused language that was the progenitor of Haskell and Ocaml and Rust, and not something to program in :)

F# is a modern derivative usable in the real world.
