[mercury-users] Mercury as a 1st class prototyping language ?

[ChrisRath at aol.com]

APL is a language that dates back to 1960 written by Iverson, who's more 
recent efforts are the J language.  APL is one of the few languages that 
extensively uses symbols (characters) - more than 500 the last time I looked. 
 Problem is that most of the characters are not part of the ASCII character 
set and aren't standard on most PC keyboards.

If you want a flavor of what APL code looks like, there is an Idiom Library 
at:

Now, back to the regular discussion on Mercury - which I'm still trying to 
figure out (I still haven't been able to grok the documentation of 
existential types).
