Concurrent ML
<language> (CML) A {concurrent} extension of {SML/NJ} written
by J. Reppy at {Cornell University} in 1990. CML supports
dynamic {thread} creation and synchronous {message passing} on
typed channels. Threads are implemented using first-class
{continuations}. First-class synchronous operations allow
users to tailor their synchronisation abstractions for their
application. CML also supports both {stream I/O} and
low-level I/O in an integrated fashion.
Latest version 0.9.8, as of 1994-12-21, requires SML/NJ 0.75
or later.
