Is this a lisp? It looks like an ml with s-expressions.


Lisp isn't necessarily just CL or Scheme. Further, if I recall correctly, ML started out as a lisp that later adopted infix syntax.


Not really. ML was developed as a new statically typed functional programming language for the LCF theorem prover. It was implemented in "Stanford Lisp". It did not have Lisp's s-expression based syntax.
