Hi Jay, I had a little fun with coding a units (SI units) system in D and pushed an incomplete version on Github a few weeks ago: https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Units It allows things like: auto distance = 100.km; auto speed = 120.km/hour; auto timeToDestination = distance/speed; // timeToDest is a time (seconds) The version on Github is grossly limited (it's just a sketch), but it gives an idea of what's possible. My goal is to code a generic unit system generator, given user inputs such as a list of units and sub-units. cheers, Philippe
