    Try Mercury -- I learnt about it while using a nice mutt-like email client called bower.

    Has anyone used Mercury? The language seems quite interesting and has C and C++ FFI. I see bower (https://github.com/wangp/bower/) a notmuch client is written in it.
  • Mercury Programming Language
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Apr 2022
    A relatively old language (having started in mid 90s) that is a mix of Prolog and Haskell. As code example someone can check the source code of bower (https://github.com/wangp/bower/tree/master/src), a curses client for notmuch mail system.

    Checking the homepage a new version was recently released which finalized the Linux ARM64 port (as well as other additions/fixes).
