Hi there, and congrats on the launch. I've been following the project from the sidelines, as it has always seemed interesting.
Since everything in software engineering has tradeoffs, I have to ask: what are Unison's?
I've read about the potential benefits of its distributed approach, but surely there must be drawbacks that are worth considering. Does pulling these micro-dependencies or hashing every block of code introduce latency at runtime? Are there caching concerns w.r.t. staleness, invalidation, poisoning, etc.? I'm imagining different scenarios, and maybe these specific ones are not a concern, but I'd appreciate an honest answer about ones that are.
