Hi Paul,

Novel sounds like {experimental, untested, gimmick}.
The last sentence is bad style or ungrammatical (comma splice).

I suggest a minimal change from the old version:

   Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines
   the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced
   static analysis and error detection features. 

(i.e. delete "new" and the comma before which)
