I. the process of being replaced.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/…/Temporal

JavaScript has had the Date object for handling date and time since its first days. However, the Date API is based on the poorly designed java.util.Date class from Java, which was replaced in the early 2010s; but, because of JavaScript’s goal of backward compatibility, Date sticks around in the language.

Temporal - JavaScript | MDN

The Temporal object enables date and time management in various scenarios, including built-in time zone and calendar representation, wall-clock time conversions, arithmetics, formatting, and more. It is designed as a full replacement for the Date object.
