A challenge we often hear from new Unison devs is around reading function signatures. Our syntax is common to ml-style languages (Haskell, Elm), but it can look intimidating when new to those langs. In this 🧵 I break down the syntax. First up, a function that is used to create an html div. 1/7

Even though he's famous, I feel like if Mr. Beast's content vanished, a month later no one would even care, not even his superfans. It's garbage that's just been hyperoptimized to hijack your attention. Once you stop engaging, the spell is broken and you realize you're better off without it.

Yeah. They don’t get the big budgets though.

Imagine being excited to go to the movies again. Excited for the possibilities. Instead of: "oh, look, guess they made another cash grab".

Imagine if for 1 year, everyone making movies, tv, books agreed not to make anything based on pre-existing franchises.

And the money and creativity poured into the same 6 franchises could instead go to making new things.

Even superfans of these franchises could survive a yr w/out another spinoff.

`Each` is one of more magical-seeming abilities in Unison, lets you write straight line code to express nondeterminism. Example -

each [1,2,3] + 1000

Ends up as a lazy mapping over the list. share.unison-lang.org/@unison/base...

Another thing is that a major draw of the classics is they had a huge amount of novelty at the time when they came out. For a modern reader, the novelty has been absorbed into the general culture, so the classics have to "work" or not based on other factors.
