Bold of you to assume no one will come up with a replacement date library rather than just getting rid of JS.

It’s javascript. We’ll have gone through 275,760 new datetime libraries before then, it’ll be fine.

String based date processing

[-] Redkey@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

Of course! There's already a proposal for a replacement Temporal object.

It’s not just a proposal, it’s already fully defined and almost completely implemented - I believe they’re just waiting on a standards update from ISO for time zone stuff.
