Datetime APIs are ridiculously hard. I suspect that the author of Jodatime (which effectively became the java.time API), who was notorious for being almost Linus Torvalds like in his attitudes and approaches, was probably once a very nice and kind individual. Until he started implementing a datetime library. I mean, he nailed it, but at what cost? java.time.* is my second favourite datetime API, the first being Postgres'. I'm actually surprised the source code of Jodatime isn't entirely in Zalgotext, technically it'd be valid Java code (I'm pretty sure, anyway).
