In the context of the Esprit project ARGo, we are currently gathering
information on the good and bad points of Mercury from users of the
language. 

We are gathering information from the project members and would also
like to have opinions on Mercury users not in this project. 

Note that this is not a formal survey, nor a language comparison
study. It is more a pragmatic survey of the  feelings of users
w.r.t. to the language and its implementation.

We'd appreciate if you could send me back your opinion
(good/bad/elaborate..) on the following topics (and other Mercury
related themes) as soon as you can.

If you want, you can also tell us the context in which you have used
or looked at Mercury.

Your context:

THEME		Topic				Your opinion
-----		-----				------------
Language	Type system
		Mode system
		Determinism system
		Strict I/O
		Cost of learning 
Development	Program construction
		Error location
		Error identification
		Error correction
		Adaptative maintenance
		Corrective maintenance
		Team development
Implementation	Time efficiency of compiler
		Memory efficiency of compiler
		Time efficiency of applications
		Memory efficiency of applications
		Garbage collector
		Correctness of compiler
		Quality of compiler M/M interface
		Quality of libraries
Other		Other
		
Thanks for your feedback and time,

Dominique
