The basic problem with this then being that all conversions between the two concepts are implicit. Dates are points on calendars and there is complexity to deal with and assumptions to be made when converting to points in time.
- adrianmsmith 9y agoWhat hn_throwaway_99 is saying is that there aren't two concepts. For java.util.Date there's only one concept, which is that it wraps a long number of milliseconds since the epoch. So it has nothing to do with dates on a calendar, despite its name.
