A Rust datetime library has been on my to-do list for a long time. :) JSR-310 is a very complete solution, but it carries a lot of Java baggage. C++11's std::chrono library [1] defines a smaller API for time points and durations without calendars (i.e. the hard part). std::chrono's API might

I think its great that you are going to be working on this. A comprehensive datetime library is very important. That said I have not got any particular ideas or comments. I have not used Joda time/JSR-310 but the docs look promising and lots of people seem to recommend it. Cheers Gareth

I believe that it would be a good idea to ensure that the Rust datetime library is a superset of the JS Date object and that it passes a port of the EcmaScript tests. Cheers, David On 9/13/13 9:40 PM, Gareth Smith wrote: I think its great that you are going to be working on this. A
