Abstract

The Standard ML of New Jersey compiler has been under development for five years now. We have developed a robust and complete environment for Standard ML that supports the implementation of large software systems and generates efficient code. The compiler has also served as a laboratory for developing novel implementation techniques for a sophisticated type and module system, continuation based code generation, efficient pattern matching, and concurrent programming features.

Supported in part by NSF grant CCR-9002786.
