A friend of mine made a cool calculator and unit converter. It parses natural English phrases like "how many inches are in 3 feet?" and "300 miles / 65 mph in hours and minutes" and "download 10GB 1Gbps". You can access it from web (including PWA), CLI or as a library. It has a strong FOSS philosophy behind it.

At first I thought it's just a libqalculate clone, but this is actually cool.

Written in Clojure +1
Multiple runtimes + web
Cool website

This is an actually useful project.

Interesting. I don't see a lot of software written in Clojure!

It's hard to find good Clojure nowadays...

I'll see myself out.
