Rúnar Bjarnason, “Unison: A Friendly Programming Language from the Future”
April 20, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm CDT
FreeAbstract: Unison is a radical new functional programming language that rethinks all aspects of the programming experience including the core language, runtime, tooling, as well as code versioning and publishing. The goal is to do whatever is necessary to eliminate needless complexity and make building software a delightful experience.
This talk is an overview of Unison and its two main ideas. Firstly, that a Unison codebase is structured immutable data rather than a mutable bag of text files. Secondly, that Unison definitions are referenced by a hash of their implementation rather than by name. We’ll see how these ideas have profound implications for what it’s like to write and consume software.
Bio: Rúnar is a cofounder of Unison Computing, which is creating the Unison programming language. Rúnar has been doing purely functional programming in Scala since 2005, and is one of two authors of the book Functional Programming in Scala.
