Interestingly enough, SML is taught in the intro class at my school. It's the first programming language I learned.

The Programming Languages course on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang) spends about a third of the course on SML before moving on to Racket and Ruby. It might be of interest to others who want a somewhat introductory course which uses ML.

Greatly suggest to try sml through this course. I'll never forget it.

I took this class two years ago and loved it. Of all the instructors of the Coursera classes I have taken, Dan Grossman is easily the most interesting and engaging. Highly recommend.

Do you think it's given you a permanently unusual perspective on coding?

I think so. I feel like I naturally think recursively when approaching problems whereas most people think iteratively.
