Dang, I’ve been programming for over 20 years and never knew units existed! Nice work as always, Kip!

This is awesome and fun. It also led me to discover some other unix utilities, yes, jot, and seq by going down the man page rabbit hole. Good times.
Also, you missed an opportunity to name it ExUnits! Surely that wouldn’t be confusing at all!

I just stumbled upon this picture somewhere on the internet and I could not help myself not to share it.

Unity isn’t able to reduce the algebraic result. I’ll have to look into that!
iex> Unity.Repl.start()
Unity v0.6.0 — type help for commands, quit to exit
> 32 gb / 5 tbsp
6.4 gb-per-tablespoon
> 32 gb / 5 tbsp in bit-per-cubic-meter
error: ** Error: Units "gb-per-tablespoon" and "bit-per-cubic-meter" are not convertible.

I am truly sorry for that. I now have a great euphemism for answering my colleagues’ stupid questions like, “Any plans for this Sunday?”
Sure, man. I’m kiping this weekend funny.

Ha, turns out it was a user error. When importing the Gnu Units database, gb is interpreted as a Gilbert.
Here we go with the correct units:
Unity v0.6.0 — type help for commands, quit to exit
> 32 gigabyte / 5 tbsp in bit-per-cubic-meter
3,462,555,924,668,722.5 bit-per-cubic-meter
Unity for the win!
