SML - Standard Meta Language

I wouldn’t say this as near and dear to my heart but I definitely loved while I was trying it out. It made me understand programs, the code I write better. Irrespective of our language proficiencies, each one of us has to explore SML to understand the fundamentals of programming language thoroughly.

Moreover, it is fun to write code in a language that doesn't have many in-built/helper functions that the modern languages/frameworks have. You gotta really grind it out to make things happen.
