how stable is kotlin.time? Can I use it without fear of massive change or rather it's better to use something else 😄

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

It's marked as experimental, which means it's stable, but the API can change in the future.

Similar approach is kizitonsose/time which came first and kotlin is trying to copy(kinda not maybe) that to make time library official in kotlin
Checkout stable currently: https://github.com/kizitonwose/Time

Please refer to the warning in the ExperimentalTime annotation docs (https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.time/-experimental-time/index.html):

Note that this API is in a preview state and has a very high chance of being changed in the future. Do not use it if you develop a library since your library will become binary incompatible with the future versions of the standard library.

In particular, we're planning some binary incompatible changes of kotlin.time in 1.3.70
