Alt opinion: syntax is the least important part of a programming language. I can't wait for the day someone invents one where it's defined entirely as an AST (with the S standing for Semantic). Just bring your own weird syntax.
I guess Unison is the closest to this platonic ideal right now? https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/issues/499

Show HN: Mandala – Automatically save, query and version Python computations
Used something similar to this in the past: https://github.com/bmabey/provenance. Curious to see similarities/differences. Also reminds me of Unison at a conceptual level: https://github.com/unisonweb/unison

Unison Cloud
Short version: no type classes (yet)
Longer version:
Building upon what Quekid5 mentioned, Unison abilities are an implementation of what is referred to as algebraic effects in programming language literature. They represent capabilities like IO, state, exceptions, etc. They aren't really a replacement for type classes, though in some cases you can shoehorn abilities in where you might otherwise use a type class.
For someone coming from a Haskell background, I think that abilities are closer to a replacement for monad transformers. But in my opinion they are much more ergonomic.
Discusson of type classes comes up a lot. Here is a long-standing GitHub issue: https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/issues/502
For what it's worth, I've written Unison quite a lot over the past few years and while I've missed type classes at times, I think that reading unfamiliar code is easier without them. There's no implicit magic; you can see exactly what is being passed into a function. So far I've been happy with a bit more verbosity for the sake of readability.

Show HN: Winglang – a new Cloud-Oriented programming language
I've been following the Unison lang [1] for quite some. Wing seem to set similar goals? From the first glance Wing looks more polished, but there's "The Big Idea" behind Unison - is there something similar?

C++ evolution vs C++ successor languages. Circle's feature pragmas let you select your own "evolver language."
in haskell it looks like this, you specify the language extensions you want at the top of the source files: https://github.com/unisonweb/unison/blob/trunk/unison-core/src/Unison/ABT.hs

Looking for a new language to learn for Advent of Code that's unlike anything you've tried before? Check out Unison!
they adjusted my ticket to be a bug fix on their part.
