Seems out of date, gziped moment.min.js is only 16.7kb (https://momentjs.com/ https://momentjs.com/), which invalidates the main thrust of the argument (i.e. moment is too big).

That's the basic version without locales though, which is what the original subject is about; you need the locales to format a date in a certain locale. With locales it's 67.8K gzipped, over 500KB uncompressed - that's half a MB of Javascript you're asking your browsers to interpret as well.

  And the really funny thing is that the browser you are running this on includes ICU4C which does everything and does it better and is only about 20Mb in size.

    You don't need to send ICU4C to the user however, you can depend on it already being installed.

16.7kb is still too large if you’re not using it enough to justify the extra download. And given that size doesn’t contain locales, in this context it isn’t going to serve any useful purpose at all.
