#2I'm impressed. I thought I'd try it with `next wednesday at 20 to 3 in the afternoon`. It understood!
It didn't understand if I used `afternon`. Perhaps as an improvement it could try selecting the most likely word from misspellings.

Thanks! Yes we should probably relax a little bit the lexical analysis to cope with typos, thanks for your feedback.

#6This is cool! I too was pretty impressed it nailed "the second friday of october 2017", was kind of hoping it would get "the second friday of october in 4 years" but still cool

Probably too much :) All our backend is Clojure, all our new web developments are in ClojureScript (with React and Om). The only places we're not using Clojure are iOS, Android and Raspberry/embedded linux. We're using Rust more and more for the latter.

Wow this is very interesting. I have been following Wit's progress since I am quite a geek for all kinds of automation and AI stuff.
Would it be possible to port this into JavaScript using ClojureScript and use it on the client side?

This is just a demo website, but in a real use case you would pass a context (for instance with the user timezone, country...) with your library calls.
You can also try the same sentence in French, you'll get February first.

#10Who wants to use this to make an Alfred Workflow that creates Google Calendar events? :) QuickCal hasn't been supported in years.
