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.
