06/19/2019, 10:06 PMDates are hard, yes. Do you know about TzData? They are updated quite often, sometimes with little time to react.
That alone explains why there's no perfect solution in a programming language.
The story went forward still, as duration is set to enter the stdlib in the not too distant future: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/191

06/20/2019, 5:42 AMI've gone over this before and I don't feel like rehashing the entire argument, but there does exist a separate mpp lib called kotlinx.time that was in the design phase last I checked. The comment from Roman is talking about how such a lib would have to be separate from the stdlib due to its size
