   A datetime library for Rust that encourages you to jump into the pit of success.

   

   Project mention: Biff is a command line datetime Swiss army knife | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-27

   Yeah the name collision is unfortunate, but probably fine. The name Biff was just too good to pass up.

   The name comes from the fact that Biff is a character in Back to the Future, and it rhymes with Jiff[1]. Jiff is the datetime library that Biff uses.
