Hello, I would like to announce the first release of Clojure.Joda-Time<https://github.com/dm3/clojure.joda-time> - an ambitiously named wrapper for the Joda-Time date and time library.
Main goals of Clojure.Joda-Time: * Provide a consistent API for common operations with instants, date-times, periods, partials and intervals. * Provide an escape hatch from Joda types to clojure datastructures and back where possible. * Avoid reflective calls (this is a problem, because many types in Joda-Time have similar functionality hidden under similarly named and overloaded methods with no common interfaces). * Provide an entry point into Joda-Time by freeing the user from importing most of the Joda-Time classes. Compared to clj-time <https://github.com/clj-time/clj-time>, this library is not DateTime-centric. If you tend to use local dates in most of your projects, meaning you don't care about time zones, there's no purpose in using DateTime at all. You should be using various Partials provided by Joda-Time, most common being LocalDate and LocalDateTime. This also means that date-times created through Clojure.Joda-Time are not converted to the UTC timezone by default, as they are in clj-time. There's quite a comprehensive README on github: https://github.com/dm3/clojure.joda-time as well as the API-docs: http://dm3.github.io/clojure.joda-time/ This is pretty much an experiment, albeit a very elaborate one (and time consuming). Feel free to suggest improvements/rant about deficiencies :) Fun facts: * first release may be treated as a Christmas present * while testing the library with simple-check ~10 bugs were identified (most of them already fixed) in the Joda-Time itself * library contains an implementation partial intervals (e.g. interval of LocalDates) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
