In my defense, I thought it was ML, because their source repository has
MLWorks,

   https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mlworks

but Dylan and Lisp are also strong contenders.  However, upon second
glance at the sources, it looks like it has its own non-MPS garbage
collector at

   https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mlworks/blob/master/src/rts/src/gc.c

so /probably not that/.
