Unison. If it were to gain mainstream adoption, it would change the world. It’s a crazy futuristic idea and no one else seems to even remotely be approaching the same thing.
I took a look at Unison a short while ago when I saw it mentioned elsewhere on Lemmy and I’ll say what I said before: Their Hello World example, and by extension the rest of the language, looks very weird and unwieldy to me. With the repeating identifiers and relatively alien syntax I’m having a hard time seeing this catch on.
I dabbled in Haskell, and my time with it was very enjoyable. I grew comfortable with the syntax over time, so I’d say try the language for a few days/weeks (really depends how fast you learn) and see how it makes you feel.
I definitely suggest trying out Haskell. I followed the Wikibooks guide, and ever since using Haskell, I haven’t been coding the same. Functional programming can be amazing.
I’ve never heard of Unision. A quick look at it and it seems interesting, but very foreign. I’ll try it out and give it my thoughts.

Functional languages aren’t for everyone.

Just scanning through the docs and YouTube, it doesn’t seem to do anything that I can’t easily do with Go. What am I missing?
