| description | `xlim` is a domain specific language designed for mathematical calculations with units.
It should be used when you want to calculate engineering expressions with units.
It is array based, and has a simple CLI interface.

xlim is an array based, domain specific language. It can be executed using the xlim CLI utility.
Please see the README.md file in this skill for example syntax.
Some useful sub-commands
xlim --functions # Show all available functions
xlim --units # Print all available units
This is my language that I have full control over the development of.
If you run into ANY issues, hardships, or misunderstandings, you MUST inform me so that I can make the improvements.
If there a new features that you think would simplify your work, please inform me.
You should NEVER have to manually put in a "conversion constant".
When using this, you should be using the full form of engineering formulas.
For example, for chiller tonnage, the shorthand formula is often used:
TONS = GPM * (DT) / 24
The correct way to do this in xlim would be:
flow = 100 {GPM}
dt = 10 {°F}
cp = 1 {BTU/lbm °F}
rho = 1000 {kg/m^3}
tons {tr} = flow * cp * rho * dt
Things you have missed in the past:
- You can coerce the output unit (like the
tr in tons {tr} = flow * cp * rho * dt)
