I find that it's easiest to think "machine learning". It's easy to tell when people mean the programming language from context.
For one, at least IME, it's rare these days for someone to use ML to mean a specific programming language. They'll say SML or ocaml. Just ML ends up getting couched into phrases like "the ML family of languages".
