        <h3>Facebook</h3>
        Facebook is a social networking service. Well, you knew that. In 2014, Facebook engineers <a href="https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/">chose Mercurial</a> due to its extensibility which enabled them to improve it to make it scale.</p>

        <h3>Python</h3>
        Python is a famous and widely adopted scripting language. Many applications like Mercurial, Django and Googles AppEngine are built on top of Python. In 2009 the Python developers <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/">chose to move from Subversion to Mercurial</a>.</p>

        <h3>OpenSolaris</h3>
        <p>The Solaris based open source operating system project chose Mercurial in 2006. It is used for the development of OpenSolaris core components and packages. Mercurial helps OpenSolaris to maintain their external contributions and make sure that external packages fit the quality requirements of the project. Mercurial was chosen after a deep evaluation of existing version control systems.</p>
        <p>The project has a dedicated <a href="http://opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/scm/">web page with information</a> about the evaluation.</p>

        <h3>and others...</h3>
        <p>Not just OpenSolaris, Mozilla, Java and Python use Mercurial. A lot of projects of various sizes have decided to use Mercurial for its efficiency and power.
