    The answer is that it is not worth it for practical reasons, but it can be good for didactic purposes. There was briefly an attempt to make some sort of package manager for Standard ML called Smackage; I don't really know if it's maintained or used these days, but there are only 24 packages in it at the moment. On the other hand, if you had a real passion for Standard ML (I did, for a month or two) then you could maybe push the envelope forward a bit.

    The bricklayer IDE and bricklayer-lite are SML IDEs FWIU [1]. Could Millet and/or the SML/NJ Jupyter kernel [2] be useful for creating executable books for learning?

    [1] https://bricklayer.org/level-1/ :

    > Bricklayer libraries provide support for creating 2D and 3D block-based artifacts. Problem-solving and math are used to exercise creative and artistic skills in a fun and innovative environment. Bricklayer integrates with third-party software including: LEGO Digital Designer, LDraw, Minecraft, and 3D Builder (LeoCAD; `dnf install -y leocad`)
