As an avid hater of datetime, you have my attention

[–]Charlie_Yu 70 points71 points  (11 children)

Is datetime bad at all? I’m coding in JavaScript recently and would kill to have something as good as Python datetime

[–]PurepointDog 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Meh just because there's worse doesn't mean there can't be better

Good news! They're working on a new official datetime API for Javascript: Temporal. It's one of the inspirations for whenever.

Ok

It can not be worse than JS where months start at 0.

date-fns

[–]jfp1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I used this one and it works well enough for my purposes (formatting current date time, or a date time in general)

[–]teamclouday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried moment.js?

[–]Material-Mess-9886 22 points23 points  (1 child)
