WTF, JS?

I am really quite fond of JavaScript, but sometimes it’s just insane.

I scored 9/28 on https://jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

The JavaScript Date object is the subject of a quiz – how messed up can a language be? It’s worse than you might think.

Give it a try at https://jsdate.wtf.

Dates and times are always a nightmare to handle (kudos to the TZ maintainers!), so I’m willing to extend a lot of sympathy to the authors of the Date object and it’s methods / functions.

But I do wish they’d refrain from hallucinogens next time they undertake a project like this.

It’s okay, Temporal is coming soon anyway.

I guess Temporal is something to look forward to?

Off to MDN to read up on this.
