- Last release was in 2023.
It is effectively dead.
This is a terrible shame, because this would have been an nice modern alternative to Prolog.
- Oh wow, Zoltan was one of my lecturers at UniMelb, and in one semester we were tasked with learning his Mercury language. So good to see it thriving still.
- The closest that I could find to a "what the fuck is this?" page is:
- There are files in this repository that were last touched 32 years ago. Any reason to be posting it now?
- Not that it necessarily applies here, but as a heuristic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
- Why is that relevant or noteworthy? There are files that were updated recently too.
- Why the aggression? This language while cool has existed for decades and never taken off. I just wanted a reason to believe it relevant so I could have an excuse to take another look.
- Why do you think "oldest untouched file" is a good metric for relevance? Do you know what is the oldest untouched file in gcc or Python?
