“Frink is a calculating tool and programming language designed by Alan Eliasen. It incorporates features similar to PerlLanguage, RubyLanguage, JavaLanguage, SmalltalkLanguage, and various BasicLanguage implementations. Its primary focus is on the fields of science, engineering, physics, text processing, and education. …
“One of the distinguishing characteristics of Frink is that it tracks units of measure through all calculations. This allows all values to contain a quantity and its units of measure. Frink understands how different units of measure interrelate, such as a length cubed is a volume, or power multiplied by time is energy. Different units of measure can be mixed in calculations, and Frink automatically ensures that the calculations lead to a result with the expected dimensions.”
