Julia has the advantage that you can do things with it that aren't unitful calculations, a classic 80% solution. Frink has the advantage that, well... it's Frink. Really nothing else like it.
- schiffern 2y agoAwesome! 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.
- samatman 2y agoWhat 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.
