Logic Language

Mercury is a functional logic programming language designed for real-world applications, developed at the University of Melbourne by Zoltan Somogyi and colleagues, and first released in 1995. It combines the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features, including a strong type system, mode system, and determinism system, and compiles to efficient native code.
