So it's Lisp with uglier syntax?

  I’m sure a lisp-like frontend could be made for unison.

  in lisp, you don't know what a given symbol means out of context (i.e. imports/macros in the environment). in unison, all functions are content-addressed so you can literally send code over the wire and dependencies are automatically resolved. it's a really cool system!

    Sounds interesting, but considering it is content addressed, I think by sending code over the wire you are also sending its dependencies as well? Otherwise the recipient can't figure out the dependencies when they encounter hash mismatch (assuming some dependencies aren't in the web). If dependencies are sent as well, how difference is this from the lock file approach used by other languages?

  The syntax looks more like haskell to me.
