I think this is an absolutely fantastic project!

A tiny ML compiler would have helped me to learn how to write ML compilers and 
interpreters when I decided to study this. I had a go at writing my own but 
it will take a lot more practise before I am good enough. I think this 
project could help a lot of people.

Did you choose SPARC because of availability or for technical reasons?

What features of ML are implemented?
