I for one am glad such pages exist. I wish the inventors of time_t had

So which language / library has a great abstraction for time and date stuff,
helping you deal with the intricacies of this craziness?
Zend Framework (PHP) -- Zend_Date. The date handling functions in PHP are pretty limited but
this extension library of an extension library works well.
Whatever library the Remember The Milk (www.rememberthemilk.com) folks use is pretty good. I
can type in "second friday after the third tuesday in november at 4pm" and it gets that, and
sends me the reminder notice at the correct time even if I tell it I've changed my time zone to
"Chatham Islands Daylight Savings Time" in the mean while. It also understands that "repeat
every three weeks" means 21 days after the event was first scheduled but "repeat after three
weeks" means 21 days after I actually got around to doing it (after postponing it several times).
