' - is used to denote a delayed computation. This is hard to see / easy to miss. What it this trend to abbreviate everything down to a shortest. What is wrong with delayed keyword for example



(Unison dev here) I hear you! :) `'` is easy to miss so we added the `do` keyword, and at least a few of us want to substitute `delay` as the keyword. Fortunately, we should be able to do that programmatically at the codebase level if the time comes for that, so folks won't have to hunt for their single quotes to change it everywhere.
