  • clj-time

    A date and time library for Clojure, wrapping the Joda Time library.

    • Not a big deal. That should be it, right? Not too soon! Turns out clj-time is a wrapper of Joda Time and the project's README says:

  • clojure.java-time

    Java 8 Date-Time API for Clojure

    • Okay so clj-time is deprecated, latest version is 0.15.2. Let's try dm3/clojure.java-time. Sure enough:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Joda-Time

    Joda-Time is the widely used replacement for the Java date and time classes prior to Java SE 8.

    • Not a big deal. That should be it, right? Not too soon! Turns out clj-time is a wrapper of Joda Time and the project's README says:

  • global-tz

    Global database of timezone information

    • It picks up the new timezone. Now why wouldn't Joda pick up the latest timezone? To be fair, Joda time does. Here is the release report. It bundles new Global Tz which is derived from IANA Time Zone database
