π This community write-up on Unison asks: what if service boundaries didnβt mean serialization, versioning pain, or extra operational complexity?

π₯ New conference recording from the Unison community!
A deep dive into content-addressed code and how it changes refactoring, dependency management, and remote code execution.
π Dejan's keynote is one to watch!

𫣠Ever open social media to post one thing⦠and resurface 20 minutes later? Well, here's @impurepics.bsky.social wiring up a Unison-powered CLI solution for that. They walk through the code, the Unison workflow, and how it all fits together.
π Thanks @impurepics.bsky.social, we're huge fans!
Finally got around watching it in full. New threads ability of @unison-lang.org

We have a consulting group, now open to work in a variety of languages, including Scala, Haskell, Rust, Elm, and of course Unison. More details here: www.unison-lang.org/blog/consult...
Please boost to help get the word out. And we'd love to hear from you if you're interested in working with us!
π§΅πͺ‘ Our latest release of the standard lib includes a new `Threads` ability for structured concurrency.
Why is it an improvement over our existing primitives? Here's a video with some comparisons.

π° New Base library version is out! This one has some big features:
* New `Threads` ability for structured concurrency
* Adds a `Ptr` type so Unison can exchange pointers with C
* Load a dynamic foreign library by name

π Check out the suite of libraries that @kaushikc.org has been steadily developing: html-parsing, at-proto, and more!
π₯ The Unison 1.1.0 release has quite a few features improving the UCM workflow. Here's a highlights reel:
youtu.be/8aMggn5Cm00
π° UCM 1.1.0 is out!
* `dependents` can search by variant, not just type or ability name
* New built-ins for Argon2id hashing
* VS Code actions: Edit Definition & Open on Share
* MCP tool: `share-project-info`
* Faster bytes ops & improved run command
I've used @haskell.org, Lean 4 and @unison-lang.org for a while. I'm impressed by improvements, but many languages have good FP features now. Wrote blog post
Competitive Pure Functional Languages.

Looking for niches where pure FP is better than OOP FP language
Unison's got a C FFI! π
If you were waiting for a reason to try Unison, now's a good a time as any :)
π We're adding C FFI bindings!
This opens the door to a huge ecosystem of native libraries. Go wrap your favorite C APIs!

β³Time is precious. Stop typing out fully qualified argument names in the UCM!

β¨οΈ A fun Unison library drop for your Monday! Dream up some terminal UI apps!

π We don't have a REPL in Unison, so what do we use instead?
Watch expressions!

π° Unison 1.0.2 is out!
- `diff.update` lets you preview a change before committing an update
- MCP upgrades: agents can rename, move, and delete definitions & namespaces
- Fixed `text.find` for numeric literals
- Parsing fix for multi-line matches
What might a Terraform library look like in Unison, given the programming model that Unison Cloud supports?
ποΈTune in to our interview with library author and Unison teammate, Stew, to see what he's tinkering on!
π Yes! It's a lovely time to get reacquainted with Unison!
π You know what would be awesome? If the Unison programming language had a little font icon.
Give this FontAwesome request a quick upvote if you agree!
Sample Unison word frequency program written in VS Code with LSP support
@unison-lang.org v 1.0 passes my language readiness criteria
* Good language server support
* Trivial to make a word frequency program with tests
It's mind blowing π€― to program with code fragments, instead of projects of files.
Very composable.
Promising, but hard to imagine its effect on DevOps
π #AdventOfCode is in full swing in Unison!
Our community has made full use of Unison's computable doc format, writing up their solutions and helpful explainers!
Here's one from the Discord about Day 3! Join us! π
π° Check out who's in the latest Future of Coding Weekly newsletter!
π It's time for #AdventOfCode! That means it's a great month to pick up a new programming language! Try it in Unison this year! π
I've been watching Unison's development for several years. I was hooked the moment I first saw the slide "A Unison codebase is a database." Since then, an entire ecosystem has grown, including UCM Desktop, Unison Share, Cloud... And now, 1.0 is out! π
Yes! A perfect time to join us! π
HELL YEAH!!!!
I cannot describe how happy this makes me, ever since hearing RunΓ‘r give an early description of the idea...
The subsequent conversation had me hooked immediately.
Want to try a radically innovative programming language?
Unison is ready!
Unison is approachable, user-friendly, and has a great community of friendly folks :)
On top of that it has mind-bending features like serializable function closures and built-in distributed programming tools!
Sharing atproto-experiments: a foundation for building AT Protocol tools using @unison-lang.org . And the first tool is to sync Bluesky replies as @leaflet.pub comments. #atproto #unisonlang #leafletpub
π Unison 1.0 has landed!
After years of engineering, design, and community collaboration, weβre excited to announce this milestone!
Spread the word!
