SML for web and game dev? Why not!

There is the Rails-inspired web framework SML on Stilts: — https://github.com/j4cbo/stilts — presumably named after its great ergonomics.

And there is the SDL-powered MosGame, specifically for the Moscow ML compiler — https://github.com/Eckankar/MosGame — it comes with these examples: https://github.com/Eckankar/MosGame/tree/master/examples

But really, SML is primarily good for writing compilers.

SML could be a nice “typed Lua” for scripting.

Especially if there was an implementation that could build from C source code in a simple way without requiring an existing SML compiler…
