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.

A circus foreman was making the rounds inspecting the big top
when a scrawny little man entered the tent and walked up to him. "Are
you the foreman around here?" he asked timidly. "I'd like to join your
circus; I have what I think is a pretty good act."
The foreman nodded assent, whereupon the little man hurried over to
the main pole and rapidly climbed up to the very tip-top of the big top.
Drawing a deep breath, he hurled himself off into the air and began flapping
his arms furiously. Amazingly, rather than plummeting to his death the little
man began to fly all around the poles, lines, trapezes and other obstacles,
performing astounding feats of aerobatics which ended in a long power dive
from the top of the tent, pulling up into a gentle feet-first landing beside
the foreman, who had been nonchalantly watching the whole time.
"Well," puffed the little man. "What do you think?"
"That's all you do?" answered the foreman scornfully. "Bird
imitations?"
