Firefox 139.0 released yesterday, with support for the Temporal JavaScript API.

I explored the API, writing down the most relevant interfaces into a reference or cheat sheet.

It's certainly and finally a thorough API for handling temporal information. Working with zoned datetime across time offsets and time zones can get very confusing, though.

I love how you can work with them though, especially with durations.

console.log(Temporal.PlainDateTime.from('2025-02-05T08:00:00'))

console.log(Temporal.Now.plainDateTimeISO("Europe/Berlin"))

console.log(Temporal.Now.plainDateTimeISO().add('PT2M0.2S').subtract('PT0.5S').since(Temporal.Now.plainDateTimeISO()))

console.log(Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from('2025-02-05T13:57:35.777888[Europe/Berlin]').withTimeZone('Europe/London'))

The comment does well in providing context and arguments.

Lets go back to the closest thing we have for requirements for this editor..Default CLI Editor - Feature Exploration!. This discussion was based on the current state of windows and was not concerned with UNIX.

Being a simple text editor, it should not hallucinate, it should not add text one did not type, it should not change the text that was typed. If the user typed a tab character, it was because the user wanted a tab character. If you want four spaces then type four spaces.

edit should by default work like the original namesake and not hallucinate or add characters that were not typed or make assumptions.

Where do you draw the line on "smart" features? Tab should not add indent spaces? Encoding or newline mechanisms? Determining EOF newline?

That last part - optimistic move application with what games people sometimes call “rollback” - is about 1,600 lines of code that took me a ~7 days of fulltime work to write. I don’t remember the last time I wrestled with a problem that hard!
