➕ We're adding operator precedence to Unison❗ The best part? You won't have to do anything. We store the AST of your functions so the latest pretty-printer will add the appropriate parens for existing code. github.com/unisonweb/unis… github.com/unisonweb/unis…

Checks out

🎥 Explore the Actor model in Unison Unison Forall's next speaker, Alvaro Carrasco, will show how actors can be modeled with Unison's version of algebraic effects: Abilities. Alvaro's libraries are filled with cool visualizations, so don't miss this! unison-lang.org/unison-forall-…

🎟️ It's the last day before the Unison Forall conference. Fortunately, there's still time to check out the program, register, and join us! See you tomorrow! 🎉 unison-lang.org/unison-forall-…

Really enjoyed my friend Dan Freeman’s discussion of UIs (focused on web UIs in particular!) in Unison | @unison-lang.org on bsky at Unison Forall last week: youtube.com/watch?v=GftCIp… It’s a great set of demos, but the discussion at the end is particularly illuminating: what can Unison uniquely do?

How does anyone do anything with python? Every time I try, it's hours wasted on installation/dependencies/env errors!

Oracle is not too bad, once I get past the whole empty string is the same as null thing

I need a scala library for jdbc... No async, DBIO, Stream, monads, etc. Just JDBC!

It's missing my definition of planet: "Expansive" + round moons... Yes, the moon is a planet

💝 We want everyone to take inspiration from Unison's ideas. The more programming languages challenge the status quo, the faster "outlandish" becomes "obviously better." Here's Chris Penner on three things other languages should steal from Unison: chrispenner.ca/posts/things-t…

Thanks, I hate it 😬

Scala — great, beautiful language. Strong types. Very strong. OO, FP — does both. Nobody does that. Pattern matching? Best ever. Case classes — everybody loves them. Fast, safe, smart. People switching. They say, “I want Scala.” It’s winning. Total winner. People call me, they

it's funny how bad AI is when producing vector images vs raster
