Its +highly optimized execution algorithm delivers efficiency far in excess +of existing logic programming systems, and close to conventional +programming systems. Mercury addresses the problems of large-scale +program development, allowing modularity, separate compilation, and +numerous optimization/time trade-offs. + +This package includes the compiler, profiler, debugger, documentation, +etc. It does NOT include the "extras" distribution; that is available +from <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mercury/download/release.html>. |
