I'm a huge fan of the "units" program too. It rules, and I've used it for decades.
The best part is that Frink is "units" plus a Turing-complete language, (which is a provable rung or two up the Chomsky hierarchy,) so you can save values in variables and use them later, write loops, define functions, etc.
