Unison is an open source functional programming language based on a simple idea with big implications: code is content-addressed and immutable. Unison’s core idea is that code is immutable and identified by its content. This lets us reimagine many aspects of how a programming language works. We simplify codebase management, Unison has no builds, no dependency conflicts, and renaming things is trivial. The same core idea forms the basis for a runtime that robustly supports dynamic code deployment, allowing a single Unison program to describe entire elastic distributed systems. Though a lot of the work on Unison is still experimental and ongoing, we’re sharing an early alpha release of the language for you to test out. We’ll make a more finished release generally available soon. In the meantime, anyone is welcome to help with alpha testing.

Features

  • Unison is a new programming language
  • It's a modern, statically-typed purely functional language
  • Similar to Haskell, but with the ability to describe entire distributed systems with a single program
  • We are currently alpha testing Unison
  • The build uses Stack
  • To run a local codebase-ui while building from source, you can use the /dev-ui-install.sh script
