You might try the pretty big language in DrScheme.

I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with LAML, but worst comes to worst,
if you're not willing to port it and its authors are also not willing
to port it, v372 should continue to work. I'm sorry that I don't have
the time myself to do that job.

Maybe others on the list will have more positive suggestions...?
