motivation

  • Every day should have all the times-of-day (except where timezone changes apply)

  • The Time type from Dates supports nanoseconds when dates are not used.

  • Time works incompletely withDateTime which is limited to milliseconds.

  • We need date-and-time together, fully resolved, accurate and precise.

    • NanoDate is familiar and effective
      • works well with Dates
      • uses DateTime methods

  • This package is a redesign of TimesDates

    • TimesDates is widely used and well-liked
      • offers nanoseond resolved dates (as do we)
      • offers nanosecond accurate time zones (we do not)

  • Contributors are welcome

    • clear code, robust performance, reliable interoperability
    • frendly docs, easily followed, well explained
