🎀 SMLNJ(7) — NAME 🎀

okay so welcome to the SMLNJ manual page, bestie — yes, the SMLNJ(7) one 💖

smlnj is an implementation of the Standard ML language, and it comes with supporting tools and libraries. That's the name section, periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Compiled programs in the SML/NJ system are represented using a pair of the runtime system executable and a heap image file — very duo energy, no cap.

Heap images have a filename suffix that is based on the architecture and operating system. That's the whole vibe.

👑 AUTHOR 👑
