motivation

• Every day should have all the times-of-day (except where timezone changes apply)

• The Time type from Dates supports nanoseconds when dates are not used.

• Time works incompletely withDateTime which is limited to milliseconds.

• We need date-and-time together, fully resolved, accurate and precise.

  • NanoDate is familiar and effective
    • works well with Dates
    • uses DateTime methods

• This package is a redesign of TimesDates

  • TimesDates is widely used and well-liked
    • offers nanoseond resolved dates (as do we)
    • offers nanosecond accurate time zones (we do not)

• Latest

  • performant NanoDate ranges with steps that are simple or compound periods
    • much faster than Dates with compound period stepsizes
  • bugfix (parsing some subsecond layouts)

• Contributors are welcome

  • clear code, robust performance, reliable interoperability
  • frendly docs, easily followed, well explained
