Unison - A New Distributed Programming Language

Explore a conference talk introducing Unison, an open-source functional programming language designed for building distributed, elastic systems. Discover how Unison rethinks programming from the ground up, aiming to simplify the development of distributed systems by allowing a single program to describe computations across multiple nodes. Learn about Unison's unique features, including its ability to eliminate builds, cache test results, and maintain an append-only codebase. Gain insights into how Unison addresses dependency conflicts, implements durable storage, and supports distributed systems development. Watch example code demonstrations and understand how Unison can be used as a library. Presented by Paul Chiusano, co-founder of Unison Computing and co-author of "Functional Programming in Scala," this 41-minute talk from Strange Loop Conference offers a comprehensive overview of Unison's innovative approach to programming distributed systems.
