> working with dates and times in JavaScript will be hugely simplified > To help you get up to speed, there are over 270 pages of Temporal docs on MDN Not that I'm complaining about extensive documentation, but seeing these two lines juxtaposed doesn't inspire much confidence.
But red across the board at https://caniuse.com/temporal looks like it's still far away, and a 20Kb polyfill seems heavy compared to the 2Kb size of Day.js
For one: a couple years ago my company migrated from moment to dayjs, which was a huge improvement and carried most of the benefits of Temporal. So even if it were available tomorrow, migration wouldn't be a super high priority for us
Still a great thing!

Please don't forget about us node users (and deno and bun I guess, too).
If you're running years old js runtimes in a bigcorp that doesn't feel like updating for the next decade, I'll pray for you. (Because there's nothing else to do.)
I might be mistaken but I think Hatchet.dev is a good Typescript alternative to Temporal

I get that the naming Temporal is used for avoiding conflicts with typical time objects like Moment, Datetime, etc. But isn't it a terrible name? At first glance I thought it was some kind of garbage collection control

First JavaScript is unfortunately not just for web apps. It’s also for desktop apps. Say my normal work day is from 8-5 and I work in the Eastern time zone. I set my Slack DND to outside those hours. I hop on a plane and go somewhere on the west coast. The perfect case, Slack would notify me of the change and let me decide whether I wanted to adjust the DND to local time or keep it. There are two possible scenarios f…
> First JavaScript is unfortunately not just for web apps. It’s also for desktop apps. A bit of a tangent but I’d say server is bigger than desktop. Like it or not JS (or TS) is the only cross platform development language that’s feasible today if you want to use a single language stack. As much as I despise the JS ecosystem practices and haphazard tooling there is no point trying to put the genie back in the bottle.
