Jonathan Edwards programming language exploration journey in pursuit of escaping the current local maxima we've found ourselves fallen into. Yes-code, but pleasant please.

I 😍 love this. This is 🤩 amazing.
Drop down acess to the dependents. I.e. the locations answering the question on where is this currently viewed function used/called from?
✨ The new dependents view shows everywhere a definition is used, broken down by category, as a separate card in Unison Share and the Unison Desktop app.

Your codebase is a bidirectional graph! You should be able to walk it as such.

New blog post!

#Haskell is built on a foundation of Monads, but are they really the optimal way to sequence effects or should we keep looking for something better?

What's the big deal with Applicatives and Selective Applicatives?

Read on!

💝 We encourage everyone to take inspiration from Unison's core ideas and practices. The more programming languages and tools challenge the status quo, the faster "outlandish" becomes "obviously better." Here's @chrispenner.ca on three things other languages should steal from Unison:

Some #future_of_coding thoughts on mending the rift between …
— GUI enduser ~vs~
— code programmer
GUI & box-n-wire side I really like two ideas that I think deserve combining but AFAIK have never been combined so far:

— Conal Elliotts Tangible Values demo: "Eros"
— Ensos (former Luna) choice of boxes being identical to and mere annotations of outgoing wires that carry functions as values too.

Here are some lists I made (not all ot them) that I could eventually make into feeds if there's interest.

Random weird scary thought: Talking/texting an excessive amount with LLMs may make one evenually sound like an LLM. I.e. make one adopt LLM like speech/writing patterns. This then may increase chances of one getting misclassified as LLM bot and banned/canceled.

Some thoughts on lists(sets) and feeds here.
I'll use lists(actually sets) to replace what needs multiple accounts on X-Platform for seperating follows into fields of interests / disjoint communities.
All lists organic (beyond migration) & part overlapping.
For me e.g.:
AP-Nanotech, CompSci, Space, Crypto, …

I started an APM feed. Atomically precise manufacturing and technology. Still quite empty and sparse as not may of that area came over from X-platform yet.
