Concurrent ML
open-in-new
<p>Concurrent ML (CML) is a <a href="/facts/Comparison_of_multi-paradigm_programming_languages/ubIddUMB">multi-paradigm</a>, <a href="/facts/General-purpose_programming_language/LyA5zR3M">general-purpose</a>, <a href="/facts/High-level_programming_language/smjECUhx">high-level</a>, <a href="/facts/Functional_programming/cdxqPEIM">functional</a> <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a>. It is a <a href="/facts/Dialect_(computing)/cWTYbgWa">dialect</a> of the programming language <a href="/facts/ML_(programming_language)/RfwxASRF">ML</a> which is a <a href="/facts/Concurrency_(computer_science)/Ctnrrq4A">concurrent</a> extension of the <a href="/facts/Standard_ML/4LaEq9tA">Standard ML</a> language, characterized by its ability to allow creating <a href="/facts/Function_composition_(computer_science)/HMADGqKA">composable</a> communication <a href="/facts/Abstraction_(computer_science)/hAnxmJle">abstractions</a> that are <a href="/facts/First-class_citizen/N6tFtEUU">first-class</a> rather than built into the language. The design of CML and its primitive operations have been adopted in several other programming languages, such as <a href="/facts/GNU_Guile/xsnGWQKV">GNU Guile</a>, <a href="/facts/Racket_(programming_language)/5n7LW08b">Racket</a>, and Manticore. </p>
