- eropple 6y agoI don't usually laugh at HN comments, but this is pretty good. And it's true. Joda-Time and its near relatives are just genuinely good. So much effort has gone into addressing so many edge and corner cases that it seems like a shame to not just tuck all that work under one's arm and steal it.
- needusername 6y agoI assume it doesn't help that Oracle is arguing in court that APIs should be copyrightable.
