Interestingly (and I did not know this) Mercury is actually one year older than OCaml. Both are fine languages that are underused/under-appreciated; OCaml did much better (PR wise so to say) than Mercury but both should have, imho, more market share.

Mercury came about as the OG was wondering about a mix between Haskell and Prolog.
