Ok, everyone who’s ever had to use datetime hates it, but not because it’s insufficient, but because international date/time is such a nightmare that the library must be complicated enough to support all the edge cases I’m convinced that library has a function for traveling trough time.
For years I’ve wrapped datetime with custom functions that do exactly and only what I want to mitigate its all-plumbing-zero-porcelain approach to the problem.

Complicated or not, the interfaces suck. And dont have to. And that’s the problem.
exactly why I wrap the parts I need, it’s like git, tons of power, zero help.
