Is Temporal still temporal?
Temporal is the new JavaScript standard for date manipulations. It has a long, difficult journey that I want to share with you. Let's explore whether it's ready for production.

The long path of JavaScript - from ES6 until today.
The Temporal API, which is currently in Stage 3, is being developed to improve the current Date object, which is mostly known for its unexpected behavior. Today there are lots of date-time libraries for JavaScript, such as date-fns, moment, js-joda and a huge number of others. They all try to help with unpredictable and unexpected behavior of JavaScript Date object by adding features such as timezones, date parsing and almost everything else.

Handling dates in JavaScript with Tempo
Even with the initial pitfalls of JavaScript dates, the ecosystem managed to tackle those challenges with good libraries. Some use the native JavaScript date while others have instead created their own robust tools to make up for the quirks JavaScript dates might have. With the JavaScript Temporal API about to roll out, working with dates and time in JavaScript will only improve.

The Genius of Apple's Name
I've vacillated somewhat on whether or not to use an English word for a name. My current company, Temporal, is an English word, and by sheer misfortune it exactly coincided with the Temporal JavaScript proposal. Given that we aim to release a JS SDK soon, this is regrettable potential confusion in every customer conversation. Whereas if you just make up a word, like "Netlify", or "Serverless", you not only ensure that you never clash with anyone, you also shoot right to the top in SEO results. Then again, people can just append "Apple Computer" or "Apple Macintosh" and do fine.
