That is the point I had. Writing scripts in ML could show Fedora
developers that ML, through the POSIX modules, is indeed a platform
for writing robust programs. The usual way now is to write python
scripts and rewrite them in C if needed for better memory usage and
speed. An ML script could be just tailored rewriting those critical
parts in ML itself and compiled with mlton if necessary.
