UnitSystems.jl vs Unitful.jl
[UnitSystems.jl](https://github.com/chakravala/UnitSystems.jl) and Unitful.jl are both Julia packages that provide support for working with physical quantities and units of measurement. However, there are some differences between the two packages:
-
rounding in julia is incorrect
however, the correct solution would be for round to just work correctly instead of me writing extra methods for my packages https://geophysics.crucialflow.com/dev/units
- Similitude.jl is new more powerful Quantity than Unitful.jl
- Unitsystems.jl (complete reference for Physics Conversions)

GNU Units
Recently I created a library for unit conversion in Julia, which is the most complete tool for unit conversion I am currently aware of

Whatever Happened to Wolfram Alpha?
you might want to try units(1).
https://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html
the input language is less flexible than wolframalpha/google, but i quickly got used to it. it's nice to have something local and reliable. you can also define custom units.
i prefer using it in terse mode:
$ units -t 0.03$/hr*1month

Rates - currency rates in your terminal
Yes, units must not be used for currencies, it relies on hardcoded conversion rates. The latest version uses prices from FloatRates (2020-11-15) for most currencies and services.packetizer.com/btc for bitcoin. So while units is very very good for units conversion, it's no good for currencies unless you don't need more than a crude rule of thumb.

GNU Units
Does the GNU projet makes it repositories available online ?
I'd like to have a look at the code but all I found is an outdated mirror : https://github.com/ryantenney/gnu-units
What are some alternatives?
When comparing UnitSystems.jl and gnu-units you can also consider the following projects:
Unitful.jl - Physical quantities with arbitrary units
