The future of numerics in Java.

[Martijn Verburg]

I can only suggest that for right now that the Java language does not
support the features you are looking for.  As noted previously on several
occasions the building blocks of value types may allow library authors to
create the sorts of numeric types and calculations you are looking for.
This is a long term project at best so my recommendation is that you find
an alternative language / ecosystem that does support the numeric typing to
solve your use case
