Code you can interactively compile from a front page is always a plus too. Conflicts are a feature, not a bug. Posted by 8 months ago. Unison content-addresses each node and aliases the address to a human-readable name. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. That's not exactly how it works: Bucklescript is a JS backend for OCaml, and ReasonML is an alternative syntax for OCaml. You can use git without branch names if you want, living in a world of pure immutable hashes. The difference is the representation, with Git (naively explained) mapping file paths to text blobs , and Unison mapping identifiers to AST nodes. I found a selection of talks elsewhere on the site. Anything that isn't a C derivative is unreadable if you only know C. I couldn't disagree more. Topics focused on the more technical side of computers, things of interest to programmers, … À noter que rsync peut prendre le rôle d'Unison et vice-versa, mais chacun a ses avantages et ses inconvénients. Would be very interesting to read the developers thoughts on this. The only thing I could see this being potentially useful for is "notebook" style computation, where you are really only using the language to do things like structured math calculations. This is pratically speaking of course not true: If you have some unison codebase, whilst under the hood it's all hashes, that doesn't change the simple fact that if 2 people both check out the exact same code, and then both people make a change to how the software operates, where that change is conflicting (say, I make the green 'OK' button now red, and you make it blue), you.. have a conflict. I’m perfectly fine with a page that says, “here’s a code sample - notice that it looks similar to C, but here’s a list of reasons / an explanation of why/how it’s actually quite different from C.”. it's not just philosophical though. No changes are ever made to an existing file, so there are never any merge conflicts. I think this lets someone know immediately if it's interesting to them or not. Despite having a C-like syntax, it is quite different from it. So the reason I don't do much C any more is not semantics, but that there is no mechanism for plugging those semantic gaps that creates readable code. > The Welcome is the state of the project without saying anything about the language itself. The language of the month... (Can't wait february). [1] https://www.unisonweb.org/docs/language-reference#abilities-... One problem I did find: Somewhat deeper into the tour, the tour makes the claim: > a Unison codebase can be versioned and synchronized with Git or any similar tool and will never generate a conflict in those tools. Unison is an open source functional programming language with special support for building distributed, elastic systems. > For example, if I request a file with SHA1 cf23df2207d99a74fbe169e3eaa035e623b65d94 from a server then I can check that the data I got back was correct by computing its SHA1 checksum. PR #2: appended stuff. The fundamental idea of uniquely addressing functions based on a hash of their AST is mind-blowing to me. They would show everything from a web server, to other things. One thing that takes away from programming languages is not having code samples on the index. Then how do you know which main function to use? Julia is a very flexible language. It would require per-language hacking, if it is even possible without rewriting some parts of code. If these instructions don't work for you or are incomplete, please file an issue. http://unison.repo/b89eaac7e61417341b710b727768294d0e6a277b could represent a specific function. Some languages have elegance or gotchas in how the syntax is laid out. wenyan - Esoteric programming language that closely follows the grammar and tone of classical Chinese literature. Unison: a new distributed programming language" by Paul Chiusano (2019) Lobsters: Unison language (2020) How Unison reduces ecosystem churn (2020) How Unison reduces ecosystem churn (2020) Unison: An Introduction and Q&A with Rúnar Bjarnason (2020) In other words, I think most of the benefits of this can live behind the scenes for other languages. UNISON is one of the UK’s largest trade unions, with 1.3 million members. If you spend some time in the version control/distributed data structures space you will have run into it. Laura Branigan recorded the song for her sixth, self-titled album. My assumption is the content store can only grow, but any executable produced from it would only contain live code. Log in sign up. Most build systems today just operate on file time stamps which has a lot of tricky cases where the build system gets out of sync and requires a make clean to get back into decent shape. Unison is a cross-platform music production studio. To edit need to generate source text from AST, edit as text, parse to AST, save. Titan - New programming language, designed to be a statically-typed, ahead-of-time compiled sister language to Lua. This is what major programming languages (with some exceptions) basically do and it gives a developer more information than any amount of marketing speak. >>code is content-addressed and immutable. Sadly the docs only have placeholders for "Concurrent work and resolving edit conflicts" and "Pull requests and collaboration". In this trade of, none of the alternatives depends significantly on the syntax. It was revelatory. Or two developers add two different fields to a type. You signed in with another tab or window. Hmmm, interesting. Here's an example of a distributed map-reduce implementation: This function can be either simulated locally (possibly with faults injected for testing purposes), or run atop a distributed pool of compute. Is it a hash of an implementation, or a hash of an interface? Crackers Prune Miez Nuca 70g. Indeed, it's impossible for us to both edit the same file, because files are never modified. For instance, C and Go are easy because they do not hide anything and what one sees is pretty much unaffected by what one does not see. It is not pure JS but based on JavaScript and all code is content addressable and indexed by the sha256 of the code. Syntax is something you become used to in a few hours. Unison seems like a super ambitious undertaking, but I wouldn't bet against this team. I disagree: in #1 and #2, the mapping between the key and the function name are different, so there is a conflict. distributed computations. Google isn't turning up much. Web assembly is the first time a binary assembly has been adopted as an open web standard. Here's a list of the latter. The most hopeful case is that there is ONE place that isn't 'strictly append only', and that's, for lack of a better term, the 'main pointer'. Web assembly has no real adoption on the browser yet, is waiting for a standard I/O interface on the desktop to be useful and is itself the nth iteration of an old concept. If a piece of code is identified by its content, and its identifier is the Merkle root of its parts, then you can't possibly have cycles because you can't compute the hash of a parent before computing the hash of its children (which in turn depend on the parent). I am actually interested in the idea, I was just a little frustrated that it was hard to figure out what was different about the language. I agree that a Hello World is fairly useless example for anyone already familiar with programming languages. program is exactly one. That's all he saying! So there is no merge conflict in the git sense. Whatever your role, we want to hear what’s on your mind. I don't think unison has interfaces or any similar construct yet. Close sidebar. 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. It began as an experiment: rethink all aspects of the programming experience, including the core language, runtime, tooling, as well as code versioning and publishing, and then do whatever is necessary to eliminate needless complexity and make building software once … You can't just pick one or the other, you have to combine the changes. I have done exactly that with a language called Pilot. Edit: After thinking some more, it wouldn't conflict on a file-level, since the file itself has a different name. Syntax changes whether I can look at a page of code and get an idea of structure and which elements to focus attention on, or whether I need to read everything in detail. You would have functors which describe the code you're calling, and call sites would use the hashes of the functor definition. Does this scale? Personally I think the right approach would be to use a structural type system similar to OCaml's. So in git terms, there are never any updates, only additions, and therefore never any merge conflicts. The problem is, if I use the switched lights, the ballasts won't let them come on until they cool down...10-15 minutes. But you can also view it as: hm we have these nice 2 main functions. Both main functions would merge without conflict into the code store, but the mappings would conflict. Just by way of anchoring: I’m no dunce, I’m a typical nerdy guy who knows his UNIX and has written lots of C, Python, JavaScipt, Ruby, etc. It doesn't work in practice, since most languages eventually discard parser generators for custom parsing, and good tooling like syntax highlighters don't rely on the literal grammar but something close enough to the grammar to work and still be useful for programmers. That's the thing that allows safe updates of shared dependencies. 2) Does this closely couple interface and implementation? Pretty neat idea, I just don't really like how long it took me to come to that knowledge. Now obviously I want the main function to call, > The files holding the ASTs are append-only. I don't think you can have a proper Merkle. I have learned a lot from the creators Paul and Runar in that past. If you have some fundamental type which an entire codebase depends on, then modifying it will essentially require recomputing hashes for the most of the codebase. Simultaneous instructions in Prelude correspond to notes in different voices sounding simultaneously; other than that, note durations don't matter. 29. git calls this a "merge conflict". Written plenty of web stuff. This means you can replace a name with another definition, and since Unison knows the node a human-readable name is aliased to, you can exactly find every name’s use and replace them to another node. Richard Feldman - author of Elm in Action - joins the Rogues to discuss the advantages of Functional Programming and using Elm. e.g. I did not think this through deeply though... Maybe some aspects of existing languages prevent them to be handled the 'unison way'? Very cool. Expatriate American … Any references are secretly references to the table, so changing a definition is making a new hash and changing the reference, and renaming is changing the reference to name table. If you'd like to participate in alpha testing, you can go to the docs site to get started. On second thought, I have two major categories of concerns: > 1) If I fix a bug in a function, (thus creating a new version of an existing function) how do I propagate that fix to all that code that transitively depends on the buggy version? On the other hand, they allow to build abstractions that make programs more terse and therefore easier to read. Nim, as a language, grew to be quite flexible within its prime syntax over the years - e.g. If it works precisely as you say, then most likely the last committer wins, and that's bad. You could apply the exact same processing to Unison commits. Unison Language - Contact. Which hash is the actual state of the app as it should be compiled and deployed right now? Reducere! Would love to take a look at it. A clean syntax makes the difference between always having to read each token vs. being able to speed-read by pattern matching high level structure when you don't need the details of that specific piece of code. Let's take my discovery path so far as an example: > Functional language: cool cool. Unison is the ninth studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion and her first English-language album. I know what that is. How can you tell the elegance or gotchas from a 6 line Hello World? A conflict can only arise when trying to unify (aka merge) two different states. I tried something like that in 2016 with Javascript. Wow Julia has grown so much! Unisonis the English-language debut album of Canadian singerCeline Dion, released in 1990 in North America and the next year in the rest of the world. I am personally delighted about this. I had to read the homepage and intro sections a few times and I’m honestly still a bit lost in understanding who this benefits and why. Just you, turning your dream life into your real life. It may be possible to do so, but I doubt there is a general approach which will work across multiple existing languages. Basically you can quote code (like in Lisp) and pass it to an executor (thread, remote server, ...). NOU. When you can't do that automatically, it's called a conflict. Hello, We have a Unison (not paradigm) system controlling *some* of our lobby lights. Back to normal view. I think Racket had it right ages back. Let's create a merged one. The Register April 6. certain naming conventions for identifiers, number of spaces for indent), "syntax skins" have become harder of a sell in favor of lingual consistency. It's incomplete. You could seed it with a hash url pointer to the root algorithm to employ and a hash url to the data to run against and it could download all of it's dependencies then run. I don’t think you should dumb this down - the text itself is very good prose. trees are immutable. Now the system does not allow both feature X and feature Y at the same time. A TLDR for the tour[0] based on my understanding (please fix me if I’m wrong): Wondering if Unison was designed as (or ever planned to become) a general-purpose language or it something more domain-specific, e.g. :). De la: 66.00 lei. Fugue is an esoteric programming language created by Nikita Ayzikovsky in 2005.It shares semantics with its sister language, Prelude, but uses music as source code.Each "voice" in Prelude is indeed a separate voice in Fugue. But then you're still kinda hosed; how do you merge 2 nodes? How can you choose a language without knowing the syntax? That'd be a bit problematic.
