Date toString

[asanzo]

It'd be nice to have something printed like

un/a Date[1/9/2016]

Instead of today's

un/a Date[]

@asanzo

What about

Date[28/12/2016]

and

Date[28/02/2016]

(withou a/un)

@matifreyre , @flbulgarelli , @npasserini , @tesonep , @javierfernandes ? I agree that Wollok Date should should day, month & year...

[flbulgarelli]

Hi! Ok for me. Just a suggestion: wollok has i18n, so either:

• the date format should depend on the locale - please not harcode the dd/mm//yyyy format, or
• the date should use the international ISO date format - yyyy-mm-dd

[fdodino]

Mmmm... I don't personally like it. But if everybody else does ...

[matifreyre]

If it's possible to get the date formatted according to the user's OS locale, that would be nice.

I really like even more any format with the month in characters instead of numbers (e.g.: 01/Ene/2017) because you can't confuse the day and the month with each other, but I don't want to add noise to the discussion :-P

I don't like the use of locale strings when entering as a constant. It is a bad idea, and is not portable between users.

The constants should be written in ISO mode YYYY-mm-dd

Displaying the date is other story, it can be done using the locale, maybe we can have both representations. I really really prefer using letters for the month, so the date is undoubtedly written.

Maybe it is possible but then you should take that into account in the tests.
