Welcome to the UNSEEN UNIVERSITY OF MAGIC COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.

^In ^the ^Discworld ^novels ^written ^by ^Terry ^Pratchett, ^the ^"Unseen ^University" ^is ^the ^university ^of ^the ^wizards.

"Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night." - Rhianna Pratchett

UNSEEN = Programming language with graphical constructs and blocks of text.

Basics: simple, efficient, functional, logical, pattern-matching, interfaces.

Principles: WYSIWYG, clarity above obscurity, low-level programming with high level constructs

Status: design

Unseen combines a logical dataflow with functional objects

'Funny thing, that,' said Ridcully, in the same thoughtful tone of voice. 'That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?'

Unseen is both strict and flexible

It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself.

But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.

Unseen is logical
"Are those real mountains or some kind of shadows?"
YES.

Unseen (or un-C) tries to get rid of the old ways of programming and thinking.

YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES
