    I recently replaced moment (which is huge like others mentioned) with luxon ( https://moment.github.io/luxon/ ). It has pretty much all the same functionality but a way smaller siz…

    I've thought of other languages, but decided to focus on improving this Python version for now. This is a side project, so development time is limited.
