It looks to me like this lib as it stands would allow me to go from a date string (from a file or user input) or from the current date, through some minimal calculations, and back out to a formatted string without ever touching the underlying Java object directly. Why do I care if Joda time is inside or not. ...except of course that every external dependency is an increased burden on the users of any code I write. It seems likely that a pretty substantial percentage of use cases could be handled in a way that would allow either Java lib to be used underneath. That way I would have no extra dependency now, or if I need Joda features could use that instead. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
