copied!<p>Well for MLton:</p> <ul> <li>Speed<br> <ul> <li>The whole program optimisations definetley give you better speed than OCaml, however the penalty you serve for each and every recompile can be quite annoying. See <a href="http://mlton.org/OCaml">this link</a> for a simple informal comparison of MLton and OCaml</li> </ul></li> <li>Threading <ul> <li>No problem here, you have either <a href="http://mlton.org/MLtonThread">MLton.Thread</a> or <a href="http://mlton.org/ConcurrentML">CML</a></li> </ul></li> <li>Mutable arrays and record types <ul> <li><a href="http://www.mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/sml-vs-ocaml.html#references">refs</a>, <a href="http://www.standardml.org/Basis/array.html">arrays</a> and <a href="http://www.mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/sml-vs-ocaml.html#records">records</a></li> </ul></li> <li>Continuations <ul> <li>I haven't used it before, but it is <a href="http://mlton.org/MLtonCont">present</a> as in <a href="http://www.smlnj.org/doc/SMLofNJ/pages/cont.html">SML/NJ</a></li> </ul></li> <li>ready for production code <ul> <li>Obviously depends on the libraries you use. But the basis library is solid, however MLton has its own <a href="http://mlton.org/MLtonStructure">additions</a> and a few others have repos with extensions listed <a href="http://mlton.org/Libraries">here</a>. However the <a href="http://mlton.org/MLtonLibraryProject">MLton library project</a> contains some nice code. However as with many of such libraries/extensions, they tend to rely on other extensions made by them self and thus it is hard to only use small parts of them. </li> </ul></li> <li>Easy ffi <ul> <li><a href="http://mlton.org/ForeignFunctionInterface">ForeignFunctionInterface</a> and <a href="http://mlton.org/MLNLFFI">NoLonger-FFI</a> are great. I have however had speed issues with the NL-FFI on big C codebases, which I think is due to MLton not removing the phantom types complety. However this is just a guess, I might have done something wrong.</li> </ul></li> <li>Portable to some degree <ul> <li><a href="http://mlton.org/Features">MLton features, Portability</a></li> </ul></li> </ul>
