<p>What are some syntaxes programming¹ languages have used for units?</p><p>I have a human-editable format where a human writes numbers, but might want to specify "3" vs "3 hz" vs "3 samples". I want units to be string names, however</p><p>- Allowing the number to be separated from the unit by a space makes my parser hard<br />- Forcing them together, like 3hz, creates other problems, like hex support</p><p>¹ Would also be happy for syntaxes "not normatively programming" languages have used, like spreadsheet programs</p>
