Ha-ha, thanks, I couldn't help but chuckle a bit at that intro. As for them taking their time... Well, yes, it's all rather sad, but I personally came to terms long ago with the snail's pace of JS proposals rolling out. And after all, working with dates and time zones is a rather complex matter in itself, so no judgment here.

I've had to develop interfaces built entirely around date and time operations, and it was painful not so much because of the awful and broken date parsing in JS (although it definitely doesn't help), but rather because of the inherent complexity of how we represent calendar dates and times, and how we build abstractions around these representations. Definitely NOT looking forward to developing that booking system at work...
