Rads. But radians are fine too.

Tau (τ). A full circle is just 1τ instead of 2π.

Yeah, but everything else is more annoying. 1+e^i(0.5τ)=0 just doesn't hit the same

Euler's identity with tau simplifies to:

e^iτ^ = 1

So it's actually simpler. See: https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto#sec-euler_s_identity

Sure, it's simpler; but it's less elegant
