Rich Hickey made reference in one of his videos to a language that
could convert between all different kinds of units and dimensions.
Does anybody recall what that was?

Awesome - I wonder if Frinj was what Rich had in mind when he was giving that talk?

Rich was talking about Frink[1] which is an inspiration for Frinj.
