Dates and Times in JavaScript – A New API for Dates from TC39
I'd like to see the JavaScript people, the Java people, the PHP people, the Perl people, the Python people, the C people, the C++ people, and the people for every other significant language that supports functions (either directly or as methods on objects) to get together and once and for all agree on how the heck we are supposed to deal with times and dates.<p>Then all of them should implement that in their standard library, so that going forward we've got one sane conceptual time handling system everywhere.<p>I tire of dealing with the quirks of everyone having their own approach.
