Awesome! I admit I'm a bit confused though: Frink doesn't force you to use units (you could ignore them if you wanted, and even skip loading the built-in units on startup), so I'm not sure where the advantage is.

Were you thinking of a specific feature set in Julia that's lacking in Frink? Thanks.

What I meant is that Julia is a general purpose programming language, and Frink is a comprehensive and thorough calculation DSL.

You could use Frink for things that aren't its focus, of course. But few would want to.
