I really like the idea, I like the language, but the world will not be rewritten in Unison. A web assembly FFI story is needed for Unison to succeed.

- tasogare 7y agoIs this satire? Web assembly has no real adoption on the browser yet, is waiting for a standard I/O interface on the desktop to be useful and is itself the nth iteration of an old concept.
- Avi-D-coder 7y agoWeb assembly is the first time a binary assembly has been adopted as an open web standard. What do you propose as an alternative safe sandbox for other languages? Large quantities of code can already be compiled to WASM. Since Unison works best with pure functions, most system interfaces would presumably be emulated. This emulation is already possible with Browsix.
- strbean 7y agoUnity targets WASM. I've run into several browser games using it in the wild.
