::{{u|STEMinfo}} the sections this edit is replacing are currently in the article. They have been completely rewritten in my version with very little of the original text/sourcing remaining.

::#You can see that the "Standard library" is currently unsourced. As I explain above I was able to confirm that a section on this topic was UNDUE.

::#The current "design and implementation" section is partly cited but many of the sources are not ideal—such as lecture notes, which may not be considered RS, and a book from 1982, which is certainly outdated. Other parts are unsourced or original research<ref>for example, see the bullet: {{tq|An explicit definition of the syntax, static semantics, and execution semantics of the language. While syntax is commonly specified using a formal grammar, semantic definitions may be written in natural language (e.g., as in the C language), or a formal semantics (e.g., as in Standard ML and Scheme specifications).}} The only sources are the specification for Standard ML and Scheme, that obviously doesn't support the rest of the content</ref>

::#My version of the draft removes content that is poorly or not sourced and replaces it with a new version that is supported by reliable sources and does a better job balancing the coverage of different topics in overviews of the subject.

::Does this answer your question?
