Am I the only one who gets confused by references to ML (ML derived typed FP vs Machine Learning)? The threads on this page are the represent a strange junction where I really have to think about what people mean, because they really could mean either!
It's becoming less obscure, F# (.net), Elm and Reason (JavaScript) are bringing ML to a wider audience. Plus Jane Street do a great job of promoting the use of OCaml.

This happens to me too, having dabbled with ML for theorem proving.
Thing is, ML is an obscure language for most people. The association with machine learning probably dominates in 95% of people.

I usually assume ML refers to machine learning and ML-like, ML-family, ML-derived, etc. refers to the FP languages.
ML with ML?
I occasionally have to double check, yes.
