A Better Time for JavaScript #
Temporal is the result of nearly a decade of work across companies, engines, and individuals. It represents:
- Years of consensus-building inside TC39 that was informed directly by the ecosystem's prior art
Implementation work across multiple JavaScript engines
- Collaboration between Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Bloomberg, Igalia, Boa, and many independent contributors
- And a rare example of shared infrastructure in the form of the temporal_rs library
We are proud to have funded and supported Igalia's work on Temporal for many years.
That investment, combined with open collaboration, successfully helped move the proposal from idea to specification to shipping reality.
The success of temporal_rs demonstrates something important: new language features don't have to mean duplicated effort across engines. Shared, high-quality open source infrastructure can reduce costs, increase consistency, and accelerate innovation across the Web ecosystem.
Temporal is not just a better API. It's proof that the JavaScript community can solve long-standing problems together.
After nearly 30 years, JavaScript finally has a modern datetime API.
And this time, we got it right.
