Mercury is a functional logic programming language designed for creating large, complex software systems. It emphasizes purity, strong typing, and declarative programming to facilitate high-performance, reliable code.
About Mercury
Mercury was created in 1995 by a team led by Zoltan Somogyi at the University of Melbourne. It was developed to address the limitations of existing logic programming languages, aiming to combine the clarity of declarative programming with high performance and robust error checking.
Mercury's strengths include strong type and mode systems, high performance, and robust error checking. Its weaknesses are a steep learning curve and limited library support. Competitors include Prolog, Haskell, and Erlang.
