TornadoVM VS date-fns

You don't need to use C++ to interface with CUDA or even write it.

A while ago NVIDIA and the GraalVM team demoed grCUDA which makes it easy to share memory with CUDA kernels and invoke them from any managed language that runs on GraalVM (which includes JIT compiled Python). Because it's integrated with the compiler the invocation overhead is low:

And TornadoVM lets you write kernels in JVM langs that are compiled through to CUDA:

There are similar technologies for other languages/runtimes too. So I don't think that will cause NVIDIA to lose ground.

date-fns is a JavaScript date-handling library written in TypeScript. It was first released in 2014. date-fns works in both the browser and Node.js. It also supports working with TypeScript and Flow (the JavaScript typechecker). date-fns is very popular, with 33.4K stars on GitHub and 20.5M npm weekly downloads, at the time of writing.

Date-fns is a modern and modular library that lets you do amazing things with dates and times. You can parse, sort dates, and format them in any way you want. You can also use plugins to add more features, like natural language comparisons, relative time, or custom formats.

// Prevent the date to lose the milliseconds when passed to new Date() in IE10 return new (argument.constructor as GenericDateConstructor)( +argument, ); // Source: https://github.com/date-fns/date-fns/blob/5c1adb5369805ff552737bf8017dbe07f559b0c6/src/toDate/index.ts#L46

For the longest time working with dates in JavaScript was a huge pain. That’s why libraries such as moment.js or date-fns are so popular. A lot of times I’d reach for these libraries when working with relative time formatting, but since late last year we’ve had pretty great browser support for the RelativeTimeFormat() method. In my mind, relative dates are just more visually appealing, especially for working with dates internationally. Dates like "5 days ago" or "in 2 months" are far more intuitive for users than 12/12/2023, or 03/11/2027. Folks in the US will see that as March 11, 2027, whereas the rest of the world will see that as November 03, 2027. What a nightmare.

8. Date-fns - Simplifying Time Manipulation ⏳

I work with date-fns and date-fns-tz

In past i used Moment, but I read that we should avoid to use it for future projects. I read someone suggested to use Datejs, but it doesn't seems to be updated, last time was 8 years ago. Currently I'm thinking to use Luxon but I someone suggest Date-fns also.

Thanks! I used date-fns for the calendar
