frink

You might enjoy checking out the units command line tool, or the frink programming language.

Eventually I hit a wall because Frink doesn't support exact square roots, so most exact values would be decimals anyway.

I generally just use Wolfram|Alpha for these types of calculations, but Frink seems more programmable and doesn't require an Internet connection.

Possibly of interest: the Frink programming language has arbitrary precision math and unit of measurement tracking, and has been around for more than a decade.

The Frink language was also mentioned [3].

(Of course there's more to Frink than its big bag of handy predefined values.

Honorable mention for Frink (preserves units).

;) It could be done symbolically, by generalizing from their rational representation: X/Y To (X/Y)^(A/B) Again this is tantalizingly close to being workable in Frink -- it supports 'dangling' (unevaluated) rational exponents on units, but not simple numbers.

You probably know Frink and Barton capitalized zillow with $57,000,000, part of their profits off Expedia.com: if zillow is doing so swell, if you believe all the self-hype you read on that blog, izillow is not only worth more, but Frink and Barton can afford to pay you much, much more.

Yes, computers were once so expensive that, quoting Professor Frink, "only the five richest kings of Europe would own them".

An AI front-end that's fine-tuned to quietly "compile" to frink on the backend feels sorely needed.

My advice was Professor Frink-ish: "why not just buy one really big computer?" I was only half joking, but he wasn't impressed by my idea.

"In the US, most Starbucks use an explicit correlation identifier by writing your name on the cup and calling it out when the drink is ready." Reminds me of Professor Frink giving a physical explanation of a toy lawnmower on the Simpsons.

Frink is also very good at units, but I struggle to use it for anything more complex than a simple conversion.

You may enjoy Frink[1] if you haven't encountered it yet.

I use Julia with Pluto, SMath Studio, Frink, and some others for Maths toolbox.
