I think that when it comes to functional programming with effect systems, unison is currently the closest to showing how it is actually done. Koka and languages like Effekt are of course very nice, but they don’t show much going for them besides the example nondeterminism and exception effect. Verse, that language that was going to be used as Fortnite’s scripting language, also plans on adding these effect systems a la Koka.
Overall, I think one of 2 things will happen:
unison will slowly gain more and more adoption and grow out to become a formidable niche language
Verse will blow unison out of the water and everyone who once even considered unison will be moving to Verse instead
unison is currently the closest to showing how it is actually done
What makes you say that? As far as I’m aware, even the theoretical soundness of it isn’t a done deal (this is a harder nut to crack than e.g. rust’s borrow checker)
Overall, I think one of 2 things will happen:
In this niche, perhaps, I don’t believe any of those will gain mainstream adoption (though I hope I’m wrong)
