The University of Melbourne Mercury implementation supports interfacing with the following languages:

‘C’

Use the string "C" to set the foreign language to C.

‘C#’

Use the string "C#" to set the foreign language to C#.

‘Java’

Use the string "Java" to set the foreign language to Java.

‘Erlang’

Use the string "Erlang" to set the foreign language to Erlang.
