SML3d is implemented using MLton, which is a whole-program compiler for Standard ML.

Parts of the SML3d code base are generated from specification files using tools written in SML. These tools are implemented on top of SML/NJ. SML3d also depends on tools and libraries from the SML/NJ project that have been ported to MLton.
