Unison: A Friendly Programming Language from the Future Part 2 • Runar Bjarnason • YOW! 2021

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2021. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Runar Bjarnason - Co-Founder at Unison Computing Part 1 is available here: https://youtu.be/Adu75GJ0w1o RESOURCES https://www.unison-lang.org ABSTRACT Unison is a new open source functional programming language based on a simple idea with big implications: every type and definition in the language has a unique cryptographic signature, determined by its content. Instead of a bag of mutable text files, the Unison codebase is a distributed immutable data structure and the signature serves as a global address into this structure. This is the basis for some serious improvements to the developer experience. Unison has no builds, no dependency conflicts in the traditional sense, and it allows for easy dynamic deployment of code in a distributed setting.
