I am doing a lot of work right now that requires day and year durations and I have to define those myself. I wonder why they didn’t include those in the time package.

    If they provided constants, someone would complain that they produce the wrong result for daylight savings or leap years.

      This - no one can agree how long a day, week, month, year etc are!

      Like sure it’s 24 hours in a day but is a year 365 days? No, not technically speaking.

      Time has always been really hard for programmers.
