    Dimensions and Quantities for UnitSystems.jl

  • Not sure why you think more units is more powerful. Defining specific units is seldom the difficult part of dealing with units in code. I'd say that just looking at the tests for Unitful (excluding the separate tests for dates) to the tests of Similitude that there seems to be a lot more functionality in Unitful. What are the advantages of these alternate packages? And I do not think focusing on "more powerful" is too useful unless qualified appropriately.

  • UnitSystems.jl

    Physical unit systems (Metric, English, Natural, etc...)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
