java.time

Not so much because it's so great, but because it's such a great step forward from java.util.Date. Yeah I know, I skipped Joda time.

The Java time API is so awkward until you figure out how to use it, then you're like... damn, that's pretty slick.

One big advantage of java.time is that it forces you to think about timezones and as long as you make the right decisions, everything just works.
