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

[Richard A. O'Keefe]

Thomas Conway replied to my quip:

	Which is to say not very fast? ;-)
	
It only takes a couple of seconds to say that.
The point is, people really aren't very good at seeing connections.
They'll see connections that aren't there, and not see connections
that are.  (Like if the NZD goes _up_ against the AUD at the same
time as it goes _down_ against the USD, maybe it isn't actually due
to anything the NZ Government did or didn't do.  Maybe the USD just
rose.  Like people sure don't adopt Perl or C++ because of an easy
learning curve, so that's probably not what keeps them from Mercury.
Maybe having to design instead of hack is the problem.)
