Date is out, Temporal is in. @Wilto breaks down why JavaScript’s Date is inconsistent and bug-prone, then tours Temporal, a Stage 3 TC39 proposal with date-only types, time zones, and add/subtract that returns new objects. Temporal is now supported in recent Chrome and Firefox releases, but the spec can still evolve. #js #temporal

Date is out, Temporal is in

Temporal is the Date system we always wanted in JavaScript. It's extremely close to being available so Mat Marquis thought it would be a good idea to explain exactly what is better about this new JavaScript date system.
