Looks interesting. Actively developed : https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats edit: You are right, I did not know there was a third version. If only this thing had release notes. I have no idea the current state of the language is. Hongwei, if you're listening! If this language is going to be a thing it needs community development.

ATS used to be discussed quite a lot on HN https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20ATS%20Programming%20Lang... MLton and Felix would be two other ML inspired languages that whole program optimizes to generate fast code. http://www.mlton.org/ https://felix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
