I looked a little closer and found this:
Unison is a language in which programs are not text. That
is, the source of truth for a program is not its textual
representation as source code, but its structured
representation as an abstract syntax tree.
This document describes Unison in terms of its default
(and currently, only) textual rendering into source code.
Or to put it more concisely, Unison is currently a plain-text programming language.
- TuringTest 5y agoThat's akin to saying that machine code is not binary but plain text, because Assembler exists. It is more accurate to say, Unison is an AST language which nowadays happens to have just one human-readable interface, which is text.
