F# has a feature kinda like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/units-of-measure
Thought the same, plus you have the massive .NET Ecosystem.
Wish I had this in engineering undergrad! Very cool.
I’m currently in engineering undergrad and this looks like it’ll be a lifesaver. Wolfram Alpha can do some pretty good work with units sometimes. But a lot of the time it’ll do weird stuff like refuse to interpret “V” as “volt”, so you have to type out the full name of every single unit. This language should handle that a million times better.
I’ve always thought Frink (frinklang.org) looked pretty cool. It’s been around forever. I’ve never used it though.
There exist a bunch of libraries designed for kotlin using its extension methods and properties system to produce the same, like this one : https://github.com/vsirotin/si-units
Fascinating idea, that was an interesting read! Don’t think I’d ever seen something like that done before.
Really cool! Reminds me a bit of the Numi calculator too
I do a lot of this stuff with the HP48 Units menu (albeit at this point via an emulator on my phone).
I would have loved to use that when I was studying physics
Reminds me of Mathcad and Calca
This looks like a lot of fun to use, I loved the example from What If, so many units!
