Actually I used it in node.js today - where using/deploying another lib is less "painful" - agreed. Still I don't think it is browser scope only...

Raise your hand if you are using Moment.js in projects today?
Raise your hand if you ship the library wholesale?
Raise your hand if you use webpack tok strip out the locale files which add sig. heft to your bundle?

Moment.js should be standardized...

HOWEVER: The language spec is likely the wrong place. This should probably be a browser spec as the biggest motivation is going to be localization which I find obnoxious to include in an often shipped defacto lib.

    Isn't it legitimate to ask for a defacto-standard to become a real
    standard...

        I would like to suggest to take up date formatting into the
        standard. Either as optional format parameter on
        Date.prototype.toDateString() or as a separate method
        Date.prototype.toFormattedDateString(format).

        format should be a string in the form as specified in
        https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-date-time-string-format
        <https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-date-time-string-format>

        I know there are libraries for that, but I think it is
        fundamental enough to put it into the standard instead.

        I hope this was not already discussed before and I just did
        not find the thread.
