I read a while ago, when checking out Prince XML (a high-end HTML to PDF conversion tool), that is written using Mercury.

Wow, I haven’t heard about that language in a long time. What do you use it for?
Looks like Prolog.

I wonder what the major differences are.

I guess it's like Prolog in the same sense that Rust is like C? It's a modern functional programing language that also supports logical programming. I never got a chance to actually code with it though.
