What is The Difference Between JASS And ML, Programming Languages

JASS is a Scripting Language, while ML is an Interpreted Programming Language

What are Scripting Languages

Scripting languages are programming languages that control an application. Scripts can execute independent of any other application. They are mostly embedded in the application that they control and are used to automate frequently executed tasks like communicating with external programs.

What are Interpreted Programming Languages

An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into a sequence of one or more subroutines already compiled into machine code. (Wikipedia)

While JASS is a Scripting Language, and ML is an Interpreted Programming Language

Let us now look at the difference between the two:

What is JASS Programming Language – A brief synopsis

It is an event-driven scripting language that provides the programmers with an extensive API.

What is ML Programming Language – A brief synopsis

Robin Milner and his associates at the University of Edinburgh came up with ML in the 1970s. It is an impure functional language as it supports imperative programming. Standard ML is popular among compiler writers and is a modular, functional programming language. Alice is a dialect of Standard ML, which supports distributed computing, multithreading and constraint programming. Caml is another dialect of ML and is a statically typed language that supports automatic memory management. Ocaml is the implementation of Caml that is developed as an open source project. JoCaml is a version of Ocaml based on join-calculus.
