Yup! Melbourne was where it was created, and we help fund its development. There are also some places in Europe who use it.

If you know people in Australia (in Melbourne in particular) who would like to do it as their day job, we're always interested in having a chat. 🙂

Now that I check, it's amusing that my first Mercury program (Eliza) is still in the source tree...

Ha, not to worry! Again, I tend to focus on the Rust side of things. Mercury has seemed to have been more of a positive in general - easy to add and modify stuff on a long running project. But yes, it does have it’s ‘charms’ (Rust has plenty of those too fwiw) 😊
