I've talked about date and time not being easy in PHP, and it's not easier in JavaScript either. Luckily, similarly to the PHP ecosystem, the community has provided better solutions to date and time than the native Date. Let's discuss them.
Time is omnipresent in software development. Pretty much every web application works with it in one way or another. Even the simplest blogging platform stores "when" a post should be published and then displays and sorts them using that information.

And yet, many standard libraries in programming languages only give us a limited arsenal to tackle it.
