width=3D"300" align=3D"right" border=3D"0" />Americans have always placed=
 a
premium on individualism. As far back as the colonial period, writers lik=
e
Alexis De Tocqueville in <i>Democracy in America</i> have characterized t=
he
country as a place where the ultimate dream is of comfort and prosperity
for everyone, as well as personal freedom and spacious solitude. For a lo=
ng
time big cars traveling open highways leading to sprawling houses,
punctuated by beautiful natural scenery have symbolized the American Drea=
m.
Today times have changed, and this vision of America has become untenable
in the face of a growing population and evaporating natural resources.
Nonetheless, people still love the spirit of this idea and revert to it i=
n
times of stress and threat.</p>
                        <p style=3D"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5=

in"
align=3D"justify">In particular, one manifestation of this kind of behavi=
or
can be seen in a number of recent events. A behavior called
&ldquo;cocooning&rdquo;, something sociologists say Americans do during
times when there are high levels of threat and stress present in the
societal atmosphere. Cocooning involves opting to spend more time at home=
,
doing comforting activities either with immediate family and friends or
alone. For example, after 9/11 people stayed at home more often, and more
couples chose to have babies. After the dot com bust, people drank more
beer and ate more burritos, rather than expensive wine and sit down
restaurant meals. Now, people because of war, natural disaster, and
political and economic uncertainty, cocooning, in some ways, is back.</p>

in"
align=3D"justify">At the same time as Americans are spending more time at
home, or in other casual settings, their interest in athletic activities =
is
also increasing. Consequently, Americans are also bringing the spirit of
cocooning to their sporting activities. More people are getting into
outdoors activities, and casual All-American pastimes, rather than going
dancing at night clubs, or experimenting with unfamiliar athletic
classes.</p>

World Wide&rsquo;s quarterly earnings report, especially profitable
lines&nbsp;included Patagonia, Harley Davidson wear, and Hush Puppies and
Merrell shoes. Not only was Wolverine World Wide able to tap into the
all-American desire for wide open spaces and empty roads with back packin=

casual life style. Patagonia and Merrell sports equipment and Harley
Davidson shoes and outfits appealed to the desire for open spaces and

[Henry C. <hen...@sb...>]

I always find it really inelegant that ML has both refs and arrays instead of
just making one use a vector of refs.  I am all in favor of having compilers
optimize away cases where the refs are not used in a first-class way, but it
seems to me like a real language wart.  Not only that, but it makes certain
things quite painful which are easy to do in C (like being able to take the
address of an array element and pass it around to procedures that are going
to mutate that slot).

[Stephen W. <sw...@sw...>]

Now that everyone has been notified of the existence of this thread,
it seems to me that instead of discussion taking place on this huge
ad-hoc list (which includes multiple other lists with overlapping
members), it should be moved to a single list.  Anyone who wants to
follow the discussion can join that list.  The obvious candidate is
sml-implementers, except that it seems to have fallen into
disuse/disrepair.  The next most obvious candidate is
sml-basis-discuss, which appears to work.  I propose that Matthias,
who started this thread, decide on a (publicly joinable) list to move
this discussion to, repair or create it if necessary, and send a final
message to the ad-hoc list announcing his decision.

The current treatment of numerics was forced on us by the desire to  
be compatible with a range of
different implementations (i.e., SML/NJ had 31-bit ints, MLWorks had  
30-bit (I think), etc.).
It was a mistake.  We should have specified specific sizes.  In Moby,  
we've gone with three types:
Int (32-bit, 2's complement), Long (64-bit, 2's complement), and  
Integer (arbitrary precision),
which works reasonably well.  BTW, one argument for specifying 32-  
and 64-bit types is that you need them
to make foreign interfaces work well.

Making arbitrary precision integers the default type may be a  
significant performance hit (I'm thinking
about operations like array indexing), so I would want to understand  
the impact before making that
switch.

The most important thing is consistency across implementations.

[Sml-implementers] Re: [Smlnj-dev-list] Evolving SML

[Robert H. <rw...@cs...>]

a few quick thoughts in reply to the suggestions below, with more 
thoughts to follow later.

1. we at cmu will very shortly circulate a separate compilation 
proposal that includes two semantics, one based on the definition, the 
other (which we actually use) based on the hs interpretation.  i am 
hoping that we can agree on this proposal, or something very close to 
it, as a standard.  our premise is that we want a language, not a tool, 
for describing and building programs from separately compiled 
components.  it supports both separate compilation and incremental 
recompilation naturally and smoothly, so there should be no obstacle to 
supporting it even under a whole-program model such as used in mlton.  
we've been using it in tilt for years.

2. i don't like the macqueen-wadler proposal for laziness, which 
inappropriately ties the concept to data types, but prefer something 
more general, with syntactic support to make it convenient.  i believe 
my proposal is consistent with an earlier one by chris okasaki, but i'm 
not completely sure of that.

3. the current treatment of numerics is terrible and should be fixed.  
morrisett has recently advocated making int be arbitrary precision 
integer arithmetic, and have separate finite "integer" types for 
special purposes that really want them and care about them.  what do 
people think about this?  remember, it's entirely a question of the 
defaults, because we can obviously have libraries for both arbitrary 
precision and bounded precision numbers, signed and unsigned, whatever 
you like.

4. matthias blume should comment on what to do about an ffi.  it's 
terrible not having this.

5. i have several suggestions for somewhat more substantial changes to 
the language, in particular a proposal for re-working and generalizing 
datatypes that i think has quite a few advantages over the current 
setup.

6. we should consider adding support for (some form of) type classes 
*as a mode of use of modules*.  ie, modules remain primary, with 
so-called type classes being a convenience for some commonly occurring 
patterns of usage of modules.  i consider it an entirely separable 
question whether or not overloading is to continue to be supported in 
any form --- type classes are not about overloading, rather overloading 
is one way to use type classes, which are themselves a way to use 
modules.

7. i have to page in the specifics, but i recall when working on pscico 
that there were quite a few problems with floating point arithmetic, 
not all of which were performance-related.  a pet peeve: the type 
should be called float, not real!

8. i believe that there is disagreement about some of the signatures 
(at least) in the basis library, or at least i'm sure i've heard people 
say that there are problems.  one way or the other we should settle 
these fairly quickly.

9. in some respects the (abstract) syntax promises more than it can 
deliver, eg treating rec as a modifier to a val binding is a joke since 
only a very restricted form of val binding can be recursive.  and the 
stupidity of permitting val rec rec rec f = ... and rec g = ... and h = 
... needs no further amplification.  i have suggestions for how to 
clean this up.

a closing thought: it seems to me that we can do well by "stealing" 
ideas from haskell and doing better overall by basing the language 
solidly on modules (and, of course, cbv).

[Sml-implementers] Re: [Smlnj-dev-list] Evolving SML

[Robert H. <rw...@cs...>]

i agree with this view.  the individual fields should not be 
independent "l-values" (to borrow old terminology), and in particular 
should never alias.  treating a mutable record as a ref to a record 
(for which there is a functional update operation for fields) seems to 
be the right thing.  so much so, in fact, that i don't see why it 
should be a primitive notion at all!

[Sml-implementers] Re: [Smlnj-dev-list] Evolving SML

[John R. <jh...@cs...>]

Do you mean the semantics or implementation of equality?  The  
semantics are
fairly straightforward: just make equality on records with mutable  
fields be
pointer equality.  In fact, I would argue that refs should be viewed as
syntactic sugar for a record with one mutable field.

If you want to view mutable fields as a derived form (at least  
formally),
then I'd argue for a ref of a record (not a record of refs).  The fact
that individual fields cannot be shared with other data structures is
important.

5. A test suite sutiable for testing other implementations for conformance.

I think it would also be highly desirable to have a shared reference 
executable specification for testing conformance.
Extending HamLet for this purpose would be a good thing.

BTW To me there is a great deal of wasted effort in constantly having 
every SML implementation rengineer the frontend and the Basis Library. 
Before this begins I think all the SML implementors ought to agree on 
what set of features they wish to innovate on and what set of features 
they wish to share. There is a great deal of wasted effort in 
rengineering pieces of an SML system which should be shared. Those 
pieces which can be shared should be collboratively maintained to be 
kept in sync with the spec.

Well, it does not have to be syntactic sugar as you say, i.e.,
there might not be a way of grabbing the ref cell out of the record
without dereferencing it.  Of course, equality on records
that have at least one mutable field would have to be pointer
equality.

Preferably this should be syntactic sugar for a records with ref
fields.  OCaml-style updatable records, while useful, would require a
redesign of equality because updates can create cycles...

[Sml-implementers] Re: [Smlnj-dev-list] Evolving SML

I think that this is a great idea.  In fact, as I was walking home 
yesterday
I was drafting a proposal in my head for "\alpha{}ML" :).  I like the 
idea of
structuring the process as addenda to the definition.  Here are a few 
ideas
for short-term (and medium-term) features that I'd like to see:

	1. functional record-update syntax.  There is a partial implementation 
of
	   this feature for SML/NJ, but it hasn't made it out of CVS yet.

	2. standardization on integer types.  I'd like to see implementations 
agree
	   to support 32-bit, 64-bit, and arbitrary precision integers, and to
	   agree on what the type "int" means.  I think that the biggest 
mistake
	   we made in the Basis design was failing to standardize on a fixed
	  set of well-defined numeric types.

	3. or-patterns (SML/NJ has supported these since '92 or '93)

	4. conditional patterns.

	5. an standard notation for specifying the build process, so that 
libraries
	   would be portable.

	6. a standard low-level mechanism for specifying FFI.  Ssomething like 
the
	   Haskell FFI layer (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/) 
that
	   tools like nlffigen can target.

	7. records with mutable fields.

	8. standard support for lazy evaluation.  Wadler and MacQueen's 
proposal
	   is a good starting place.  Supporting lazy fields in records might 
be nice.

	9. polymorphic recursion.

	10. a standard model of concurrency.

Dear fellow SML implementers!

Following up the ML Workshop at ICFP, we would like to reactivate the
awfully stagnant discussion about the future of SML. We strongly
believe that evolution is crucial for survival of a language. And SML
should not be considered dead yet!

Ignoring politics for a moment, one problem in the past discussions
was the lack of consensus about the direction and extend of possible
changes. In order to focus the discussion, we would like to suggest a
three-stage roadmap:

* Short term: fixing obvious deficiencies in the current language
   specification and conservatively extending it with modest, well-
   understood features. Possible goals for this round could be fixes to
   the Definition, a pragmatic solution to the separate compilation
   problem, and frequently requested additions like disjunctive  
patterns,
   "withtype" in signatures, or improved structure sharing.

* Medium term: overhauling the language and its specification,
   incorporating more ambitious extensions and possibly incompatible
   design cleanups. The Harper/Stone formulation and Bob's ongoing work
   on mechanizing it seem like a good starting point for this
   branch. Advanced additions, like higher-order modules, are probably
   best addressed at this stage.

* Long term: designing the "next ML". All not yet concrete visions
   for a YML or ZML - like sexy types, type classes, effects, or
   concurrency - go here.

To get something moving at all, we would like to concentrate the
discussion on short term development for now. Having the Definition
and its formal framework as a firm foundation, a community effort
appears to be a viable approach to moderately adjust and evolve the
language.

How could we proceed?

It is clear that we want to stay with the foundational spirit of the
language and only adopt changes for which we have a formal
specification.  Since we may neither change the Definition, nor the
meaning of "Standard ML", we propose specifying and publishing changes
as "deltas" to the Definition. Once we agree on a particular set of
changes we may combine them into a comprehensive "addendum" and refer
to the resulting language as, say, X::SML - "Some ML with eXtensions"
;). We expect the process to be incremental and open, and leave room
for further Xi::SML versions.  Better suggestions are welcome.

We would prefer to go without an overly regulated proposal and voting
process and rather have an open mode of discussion. Our community is
small enough and our goals sufficiently moderate to hope for consensus
on most issues. We could still consider adopting a more bureaucratic
approach if that turns out to be unworkable.

Intended changes and extensions are best made and discussed informally
on the implementers list. Before a change can be accepted, it has to
be written up as a formal proposal, though. We suggest that such
proposals include the following:

1. A classification (bug resolution vs. extension).
2. A rationale.
3. A precise formulation in form of a delta to the current Definition.
4. A brief analysis of possible implications on properties of the
    language, its implementations, and existing programs.

Moreover, we probably should require it to be implemented in at least
one SML system before acceptance.

Making the whole effort successful requires somebody to coordinate it,
to push and controll the process, and to have the final editorial
word.  Ideally, this should be an authoritative SML `senior'. Finding
a volunteer would probably be our first task.

We urge everybody to join the discussion. Do you share our interest in
evolving SML? Would you be willing to commit your time and energy to
it? Do you think the approach we sketched is appropriate? Do you have
concrete suggestions regarding its organisation?

To the outside, SML sometimes makes a devastating impression in terms
of community and activity. If we want to counter that it seems
important to demonstrate some progress as soon as possible. In our
opinion, the best-suited strategy for an "X1::SML" is to first
concentrate on low hanging fruits and get them out of the door
soon. Hopefully, it creates some helpful momentum for turning to more
difficult or controversial points.
