Essence

Una is based on the ideas of lambda calculus created by Alonzo Church in the middle of the 20th century.

It has only two basic operations:

• Application
• Abstraction

Everything else is build upon these two operations.

Functional programming

Una is a functional language.
Its syntax is mostly inspired by LISP.

The essense of the functional programming can be represented as a simple pipeline:

Data -> Function -> Data

Where:

• Data is immutable
• Function is pure (always returns the same output for the same input)

JavaScript platform

You should consider that Una is not standalone language.
The transpiler translates Una code to JavaScript and your code is executed by JavaScript interpretuer.

• You can run Una on any platform that supports JavaScript
• You can import JavaScript modules to Una
• You can export Una modules to JavaScript
• You can use almost any library from npm
• You can create React and React Native applications using Una
