strict higher-order functional language with statically-checked polymorphic
types, garbage collection and a formal semantics. It began as the
metalanguage for the Edinburgh LCF proof assistant. (LCF="Logic for
Computable Functions") "A Metalanguage for Interactive Proof in LCF",
M.J.C. Gordon et al, 5th POPL, ACM 1978. (See SML). LCF ML was

using the FAM (Functional Abstract Machine).
