description should be "An ML-like..." and not A ML-like..."

[davidgarland]

Is there actually a standard on that being the case in English or something? The ambiguity in my eyes stems from the fact that if you expand "ML" into "Meta Language", then you're now saying "an meta language-like", which sounds equally bad.

I think "An" is preferred, as you'd pronounce it "emm ell". That's what the internet seems to suggest at least.

I don't know, it's not like English is a consistent language :). "An ML" does sound more correct to me at least.

TL;DR:

Thus, the answer is "If the word following the indefinite article begins with a vowel sound, use an; if it begins with a consonant sound, use a.

The thing is you don't expand ML into "Meta Language" because Written language is a representation of the spoken word. Read here: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/1016/do-you-use-a-or-an-before-acronyms-initialisms

Because of that I'm sure An ML is the correct form.

It took me far too long to realise this was the repo description, and not in a readme/on the website 🤦.

Anyway, thanks! Fixed.
