    The date API is like the original rip of the Java date API. Barely changed, and totally backwards compatible nonsense.

    Temporal is the new JavaScript/ECMAScript date API.
    It's stage 3, and likely stable (just a few kinks being worked out). So you could polyfill it for production.

      Speaking of Java RipS. How annoying is it the JS has left Java in the dust as far as looser standards?
