We have lots of ideas for improvements to MLton, many of which we do not have time to implement, or at least haven't started on yet. Here is a list of some of those improvements, ranging from the easy (1 week) to the difficult (several months). If you have any interest in working on one of these, or some other improvement to MLton not listed here, please send mail to MLton@sourcelight.com. Here are some projects that we're already working on.
Henry Cejtin
Upgrading to a new version of gmp and exporting fast gcd algorithms.
Matthew Fluet
Improving representation of data structures so that the indirection in ref cells can sometimes be avoided and so that tuples can be flattened into arrays. Also, hopefully improve bool arrays, which currently use 32 bits per elt!
Stephen Weeks
A real front end.
