Sure, Excel is from 1987 and SML (Standard Meta Language) is from 1990. But SML is a modern implementation of ML from way back in 1973! ML is sometimes called "Lisp with types". But Lisp also have types, only in a different way. SML and other modern dialects of ML are today common at universities and popular with CS people in general (compiler writers, language-for-the-sake-of-language guys etc.), but perhaps CS people with a more engineering inclination than the purists on Haskell. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
