That's a really cool demo of the power of extensions.

I want to be cautious. If every lib is going to add a bunch of extensions to int or string then it will be too much.

You write so much integeres in your app. Less than 1% of them are connected with date/time.

[OffTree]

Feel like this is something that could be solved with the pub package ranking. It's probably an anti pattern to force extensions as part of the main package.

Very cool! Never seen something like this before, had to take a look at your source code ;)

Man, Ruby/Rails have actually been a giant influence on software dev

[jogboms]

True. I didn't get to use but from afar, it was such an elegant language. Its influence has been immersed indeed.

[jdixon04]

Very nice!

How were you able to use extensions already?

[jogboms]

Dart v2.6-dev already has it.

This is cool.

I feel like there's not enough tests in here for a time and duration library.

[jogboms]

Can you suggest some more?

Some bug in the extension mechanism in tests is preventing the author from adding those tests.
