Code example showing the usage of Temporal.ZoneddateTime ```js // London DST starts: 2026-03-29 01:00 -> 02:00 const zdt = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from( "2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]", ); console.log(zdt.toString()); // → "2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]" const plus1h = zdt.add({ hours: 1 }); console.log(plus1h.toString()); // "2026-03-29T02:30:00+01:00[Europe/London]" (01:30 doesn't exist) ```

Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂

Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years!

Bloomberg JS Blog The official Bloomberg JavaScript blog - insights, tutorials, and best practices from Bloomberg's JavaScript engineering team.

Some time ago, @jonkuperman.com & @tchetwin.bsky.social had a dream for the JS engineers at Bloomberg to be more public about the cool JS work we have going on.

That dream has come true - now we have a blog platform 🎉

GitHub - bellard/mquickjs: Public repository of the Micro QuickJS Javascript Engine Public repository of the Micro QuickJS Javascript Engine - bellard/mquickjs

Micro QuickJS is a new JavaScript engine by the famous Fabrice Bellard 🎉

📖 Written in C
🗜️ Uses 100 kB ROM
⚠️ Supports a subset of JS close to ES5
🐏 Runs programs in as little as 10 kB of RAM
🔥 Speed is comparable to the full QuickJS engine

Merry syntaxmas, everyone!

ES2026 Solves JavaScript Headaches With Dates, Math and Modules With ECMAScript 2026, JavaScript will get more precise about sums, errors, international dates and times — and it may finally be time for Temporal.

it's the time of the year when thoughts turn not just to how soon we can stop for the holidays but also what we'll be coming back to, which makes it a good time for me to take a look ahead at ECMAScript 2026 and all the features that we already know will become part of JavaScript then

looks nice from an initial glance. very few dependencies. very small binary size - ~2x QuickJS. builds fast for a Rust project. process cycle time on par with QuickJS. not so great on the language benchmarks, but early days.
