I didn't know there was a standard for strftime implementations... I'd also never really considered it a DSL, although I can see that.<div><br></div><div>I found myself writing a lot of the same code over and over again, so I wrote a simple library. Lots of languages have this method. It's handy, simple, usable, practical; all things I like in my methods. It uses established patterns that have worked for many years over many languages and many picky developers. Also things I like... :)</div>

> This weekend a wrote something similar looking at python, ruby and perl api:s for datetime, time and calendar functionality. Trying to get a feel for what would be ok. However, most of those api:s are emulations of standard C time conversions. gmtime, mktime, localtime etc. Horrible horrible syntax in my opinion. On the other hand it is rather familiar.<br>

</div>Though it's mostly object-oriented (and quite verbose owing to being Java), Joda-Time is generally considered a pretty nice API for an API handling just about everything related to date and time.<br>
<br>
See also JSR-310, which was authored by Joda's original developer and is an evolution of Joda (rather than a port or direct evolution) using lessons learned from Joda.<br>
