Interesting. Are u sure joda-time is so widely in usage among java developers ? Anyway, as far as I remember, one of the benefits of clojure running on an existing VM (the JVM) is to leverage all the existing APIs. Since the date/time support would be in clojure-contrib (and not clojure-core),

Joda Time is also a good fit for Clojure because all features in the library have a functional implementation, whereas the current built-in Java classes tend to use non-functional/non-threadsafe mechanisms. - Mark M. On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 9:14 AM, Mark Volkmann r.mark.volkm...@gmail.com

2009-01-22 Thread Matt Moriarity
Under the suggestion of some people in the #clojure channel, I started working on a date library for Clojure since the built-in Java one is kind of a mess. It's not totally complete, but I think it could be quite useful. It supports getting the current date and time, and creating dates based on

That sounds interesting; you might take a look at Joda Timehttp://joda-time.sourceforge.net/. Although I've never used it myself, from what I've heard it's the Java library that people actually use for dates/times (I do know that Google uses it). Doing a quick search, it looks like Mark

We discussed Joda Time, but it was decided that it wasn't a good idea to add another dependency, since this is something so integral to the language. I don't know what other people think, though. This was just an informal decision on #clojure. On Jan 23, 12:05 am, Nick Vogel voge...@gmail.com
