It looks quite nice. But also unneccessary complex. Why are there special URL types? Why do the time types not follow ISO8601 but almost?

- kstenerud 5y agoThere's a special URL type because URLs are not strings, and the computer needs to know that. The date format is not ISO8601 because ISO8601 has too much cruft, bad defaults, and is missing real timezone data. I'd have been fine with the cruft and bad defaults, but lack of timezones is a deal breaker.
