I think there was something like a package manager.

Tbh, I wish we lived in an alternative reality where SML won over JS and we had it running on every major browser.

SML can run in every major browser: http://www.smlserver.org/smltojs/

Interestingly, SMLtoJs predates Elm and PureScript, but never really caught on.

A great achievement, but I think that's still running JS in the browser, not SML. Compiling to JS, to be able to run in the browser is not the same as the browsers natively supporting SML code.
Looks cool. Do you know if this ever escaped the lab and got used for anything interesting by people other than its creators?
