  • Squants

    The Scala API for Quantities, Units of Measure and Dimensional Analysis

  • Scala's squants library is a nice implementation of units-of-measure/dimensional-analysis http://www.squants.com

    In particular it uses types for dimensions; whilst units are just constructors. Hence `Meters(2)` and `Microns(7)` have the same type (`Length`).

  • manifold

    Manifold is a Java compiler plugin, its features include Metaprogramming, Properties, Extension Methods, Operator Overloading, Templates, a Preprocessor, and more.

  • The manifold[1] project for Java lets you write unit expressions directly.

    Force force = 5kg * 9.807 m/s/s;
