-MLton is an open-source, whole-program, optimizing Standard ML compiler. It
-aims to produce fast executables, and to encourage rapid prototyping and
-modular programming by eliminating performance penalties often associated with
-the use of high-level language features.
+MLton is a whole-program, ahead-of-time Standard ML compiler featuring
+excellent application performance and partial Successor ML support.
-This is a prebuilt binary package to shorten overwhelmingly long time of local
-compilation.
+This build script uses a pre-built version of MLton from mlton.org to
+compile the MLton package. This pre-built compiler is only available
+for x86_64. Builds usually require 2GB of memory.
