|---|---|---|
The functional programming language ML has been undergoing a thorough redesign during the past year, and the module facility described here has been proposed as part of the revised language, now called Standard ML. The design has three main goals: (1) to facilitate the structuring of large ML programs; (2) to support separate compilation and generic library units; and (3) to employ new ideas in the semantics of data types to extend the power of ML's polymorphic type system. It is based on concepts inherent in the structure of ML, primarily the notions of a declaration, its type signature, and the environment that it denotes. |
