approachable General Programming Language for real world problems.

It might be a case of NIH, but that doesn't handle fractional units (for
example MPa*m^1/2 is used in fracture mechanics and I suspect that they
are fairly common as intermediate values in solving equations in odd
directions).
You can fix that by encoding the power of each unit as a fraction. No big
deal. That's a good observation, though.
He already did. :)
