WebML -- A Standard ML compiler for the Web

WebML is to be a Standard ML (SML '97) Compiler that works on web browsers and generates WebAssembly binaries. WebAssembly binaries can be run on web browsers. This means you can run SMl REPL on web browsers.

Status

Under very early stage of initial development. Compiles only minimal subset of SML codes. The garbage collector is not complete.
