A: Available source material lists ATS as a related programming-language entry. ATS is noted with an inception year of 2006 in the provided data.

## Why It Matters
Dependent ML matters as an example of experimental work within the functional programming family and as a variant of Standard ML. As an experimental language, it contributes to the exploration of language design choices and dialect development within the ML tradition. Its classification and presence on reference resources (Wikipedia in multiple languages, Freebase, Microsoft Academic) indicate it has been notable enough to be cataloged and referenced in public and academic-facing databases. For researchers, language designers, and programmers interested in variations of Standard ML or in experimental functional languages, Dependent ML represents a concrete instance of such exploration and documentation.
