Humane Rails Forms
There's actually a lot of issues and PRs for Chronic at https://github.com/mojombo/chronic that could make it a more capable library and fix some of these issues.
- A declarative DSL for calendar events and scheduling
- Chronic: A pure Ruby natural language date parser

Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues
In my web apps, I make dates text boxes that can handle inputs like “next Thursday”, “Monday at 5p”, etc by running the inputs through https://github.com/mojombo/chronic
I like the idea of inputs being able to make sense of as wide of a variety or formats as possible.
For number inputs I’d like to build into Rails something that can handle basic math expressions. For example, a person can enter “120 / 2” in an input and get 60. This is useful for expense apps where you need to expense half of something.

Dte: A language for expressing and calculating date and time
Reminds me of the Ruby library chronic https://github.com/mojombo/chronic
It's pretty good at natural language interpretation of dates, and the basic "from today" calculations, but cool to also see here natural expressions to parse between dates.
What are some alternatives?
ice_cube - Ruby Date Recurrence Library - Allows easy creation of recurrence rules and fast querying
validates_timeliness - Date and time validation plugin for ActiveModel and Rails. Supports multiple ORMs and allows custom date/time formats.
groupdate - The simplest way to group temporal data
TZinfo - TZInfo - Ruby Timezone Library
time-lord - time-lord is a ruby gem that adds extra functionality to the time class.
time_diff - Gem which calculates the difference between two times
fugit - time tools (cron, parsing, durations, ...) for Ruby, rufus-scheduler, and flor
Recurrence - A simple library that handles recurring events.
