Everytime I read something like "learn ML" I think about learning some descendant of the ML programming language like OCaml, F# or Standard ML instead of machine learning.

This is a common problem. Acronyms are short but provide less information. Without the proper context it is difficult to know what do they refer to.

Whether the parent is joking or not, I also see ML as ML (Meta Language) not ML (Machine Learning).

I have zero exposure to machine learning, but am immersed in FP so...

Actually quite common, depending on what community you hang out in! For example, in sales they use # of SQL (sales qualified leads)
