Sending good vibes to the engineers who will have to add Moon time support to the Java DateTime class.


Microsoft Excel will be the first to implement it.

"That's a nice looking number you got there... wouldn't it be a shame if I were to convert it to MOON TIME!"


I'll send good vibes to that one guy from tzdata who'll for sure maintain a Lunar Time Zone database and literally everyone in the globe will rely upon it.

edit: Arthur David Olson and Paul Eggert, you're The Dudes, dudes.


Can't wait for Martian Time support

Then Java will have to support days longer than 24 hours.


Lunar days are longer than 24 hours (~29.5 earth days)


Earth days are longer than 24 hours (when daylight-savings "falls back")


This actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you :)
