-__ML__ is a family of StaticallyTyped [FunctionalLanguage]s with StrictEvaluation, PolymorphicTypes, HigherOrderFunctions, a higher-order module system. ML can be used interactively for learning, experimentation and testing, or it can be compiled. The two major dialects of ML are [Ocaml] and [SML]. SML is a standardised language with several implementations. Ocaml has a single open source implementation, it extends ML with an [OOP] system. Both major dialects have compilers that produce native code that rivals
the speed of C++, and extensive standard and third-party libraries.

[Why YOU want to program in ML | http://www.schizomaniac.net/ml.html] gives you a tour of the features of ML that make it a good general-purpose programming language. It talks about [SML], but what it says applies to [Ocaml] as well.
