Demonstration of how one can use newtypes to prevent mixing up different quantities. In other words, a unit-of-measurement library.

This is not a production ready library. If you are looking for that, take a look at uom.

In my experience uom does take a while to compile, which is partially why I wanted to investigate what it would take to implement the functionality it provides. uom also takes care of printing and implementing traits from math interoperability crates. I also wanted to try and use const N: isize but Rust is not ready for that (can't use them in constant expressions as of Jan 2024). I ended up implementing compile-time counting as well to keep track of the different dimensions of the unit system.
