In your first post, you said that there were no languages at all that supported units as a language feature, and suggested that Python should lead the way here: I find it a little shocking that no programming languages offer this feature yet Now you say you've been using these "languages" plural for forty years. Would you like to rephrase your claim? I am unable to reconcile the discrepency. (There are three languages that I know of that support units as a first class language feature, RPL, Frink and Fortress. None of them are 40 years old.) -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
