The last few days @ work before the holidays are a hackathon. My colleague just compiled a statically typed "Prolog" program (MercuryLang) to Erlang to experiment with using it in our application.
I love this team.

We use Mercury at work!

We use at to implement the majority of Prince: princexml.com (a HTML+CSS+JS to PDF layout engine), along with Rust code for font shaping. We use the native backend though. Not sure what it's like using the Erlang backend though.
That's really exciting!
The Erlang backend is actually deprecated and hasn't been maintained in a while, but we built from source to enable it so we could see what kind of code it generated and prototype more quickly.
In a real deployment we'd probably use the native backend.

Ahh yeah, my colleague informs me:
