Request to add the Unison Programming Language! 🚀

[rlmark]

What programming language should we add?
Unison

What is the official website for the language?
https://www.unison-lang.org/

Is this a language that comes in many variants? If so, which variant should we support?
No

Does the language have an official logo?
SVG link: https://www.unison-lang.org/assets/icon-unison-mark.svg
Attaching a PNG version with color as well:

For attribution rights, we believe the logo is licensed to "Unison Computing" with the MIT License, but we are checking on that.
EDIT: Logo is "copywright Unison Computing, all rights reserved" but it is fine for Exercism to use the logo on their website.

Does the language have an unofficial logo?
No

Is there a testing framework available for the language?
Testing is a first-class feature of the language. We support testing in lightweight assertions that look like test> myTest.name = check (myFunction == true).

Is this language listed as 'supported' by Highlightjs?
Not at present. We may add it in the future!

If it is not supported by Highlightjs, what is the closest supported language it maps to?
Haskell

Who will be leading the effort to launch the track?
Rebecca Mark (me! 😁)

@rlmark Great - sounds fantastic. We'll get you a repo set up. You might like to organise a call with @ErikSchierboom for a getting started walkthrough and I suspect @jonathandmiddleton would also love a chat from a community perspective! 🙂 If you drop Erik an email at [email protected] he can get you on our community Slack and you can go from there.

@ErikSchierboom You able to do bootstrap this now or do you still need some @kytrinyx magic? Could you liase to get it setup pls?

[rlmark]

Wonderful! We are very excited about Exercism. I'll email Erik and get in touch with Jonathan to start the process! As a heads up I just got an update on the attribution of our logo; the edit is listed above, if you need anything from us with regards to being able to display our logo, we'll make it happen! 😁
