Examples

Hello World

helloWorld : '{IO, Exception} ()
helloWorld _ = printLine "Hello World"

With a few lines of code, you can perform a distributed map-reduce using the Remote ability.

distributedEx : Seq k Nat ->{Remote} Nat
distributedEx dseq =
  dseq
    |> Seq.map (x -> x + 1)
    |> Seq.filter (x -> mod x 7 == 0)
    |> Seq.reduce 0 (+)

Perform effectful code, like HTTP requests with Abilities and Ability handlers.

httpEx : '{IO, Exception} Response
httpEx _ =
  host = HostName "unison-lang.org"
  web = Authority None host None
  path = Path.root / "learn"
  uri = Uri https (Some web) path Query.empty None
  req = Request.get uri
  handle request req with Http.handler

Unison is a modern, statically-typed purely functional language, similar to Haskell, but with the ability to describe entire distributed systems with a single program.
