Use better interchange types than UCalendar for date formatting #1

Open sffc opened 5 years ago

ECMA-402 does not expose the Calendar class, in large part because we are working toward a better representation for dates and times in Temporal. I know pure ICU does not currently support any other good types for inputting to your DateFormat, but perhaps this is a place where you want to consider a wrapper with a more friendly API that hides the UCalendar under the hood.

Are you aware of a Rust standard date/time type like java.time, Abseil time, or JavaScript Temporal?
