If you haven't been exposed to the unison language at all yet, two data points that might help you decide:
- One of the authors (two?) are co-authors of the `FP in Scala` book which is amazing, and gets glowing reviews - Paul Chiusano. He's also a huge language nerd in the best possible way, and speaks excellently about it. - For me, as a Rubyist, knowing the background of smalltalk and some of the early "what OOP was supposed to be" and the smalltalk approach to running your code in a perennial environment where nothing ever starts or stops, Unison really, really speaks to me as awakening some long-lost ideas from the glory days of language design before everything was overtaken by variations on procedural OOP derived things with a C-like syntax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWtkvDQ2ZI is an amazing video to maybe give you a taster of why Unison might be the most interesting programming language I've noticed in the last decade.
