All Mercury implementations should support interfacing with C. The set of other languages supported is implementation-defined. A suitable compiler or assembler for the foreign language must be available on the system.

The 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.
