Moment.js announces legacy status

([Development] Sep 15, 2020 15:02 UTC (Tue) (coogle))


[1]Moment.js , the de facto standard JavaScript library for date and time manipulation, has [2]announced that " we would like to discourage Moment from being used in new projects going forward. " The project cited multiple reasons for the recommendation. The first is that moment objects are mutable; another is the unnecessarily large size of the library when compared to other internationalization and time-zone support options available to modern browsers. According to the post, " we now generally consider Moment to be a legacy project in maintenance mode. It is not dead , but it is indeed done . " The project offers multiple recommendations of alternative options, including " the evolution of Moment ", [3]Luxon , authored by long-time Moment.js contributor Isaac Cambron.

Godwin's Law (prov. [Usenet]):
As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a
tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is
over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost
whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus guarantees
the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.
