    As others have said, Haskell and Rust are pretty great. A language that hasn’t been mentioned that I REALLY want to catch on, though, is Unison.

    Honorable mention to my main driver lately: Purescript

        Hard to describe in one phrase other than to say:

        NixOS is to Linux what Unison is to Haskell

        Content-addressing used in the context of programming languages in the service of solving the problem of distributed systems and their inability to share code across time and space.

        Haskell has a content-addressed module that was perhaps influenced by Unison.

        Here’s an excellent interview with one of the authors of Unison:
