I wish more software/libraries would mark themselves as "Done" instead of sending one update every week and a ui refresh every 6 months. Software engineering is the only field where we keep building a single thing forever until it becomes a hot mess.
- lazharichir 6y agoIt really isn't "done" if you tell people they probably should look at alternatives instead. Sounds more like a soft deprecation to me. But regardless of semantics, they're being transparent on the project's status.
- codegladiator 6y agoIt "done" really, and I can use it today knowing its pros and cons. It would be "dead" if it had a glaring flaw which couldn't be fixed (which I don't think mutability is) Every project has cons and they should embrace it and call it out like this project did instead of forever targeting a perfect library but nothing is perfect. It serves its purpose. I am not sure if they are telling people not use it just because chrome now says to exclude it or they came up with it independently.

The maintainers have been recommending other alternatives (like Luxon) long before Chrome started to advise users on it. Moment has been in maintenance mode for a while now, this is just an updated confirmation of the fact, I'm guessing because users kept asking.
- mj1586 6y agoWe (the Moment maintainers) have been saying it anecdotally for quite some time. In our respective podcasts, talks, Stack Overflow comments, etc. The Chrome thing simply encouraged us to make it an official position.
