Temporal API https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal in ECMA262 is a new API that provides standard objects and functions for working with dates and times. Date has been a long-standing pain point in ECMAScript. This proposes Temporal, a global Object that acts as a top-level namespace (like Math), that brings a modern date/time API to the ECMAScript language.
