Making Magick with JavaScript ✨

The author discusses their experience with JavaScript's numeric functionality and how they found Ruby's ActiveSupport Numeric extensions helpful. They sought a better way to handle time units in JavaScript, leading them to explore ES6 features like tagged template literals and experimental language features provided by Babel. Through this exploration, the author developed Metrick, an npm package that supports conversions between various time units and other types of units such as data, temperature, and length. The author emphasizes the flexibility of programming languages and encourages exploring beyond conventional norms to discover new possibilities.
