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! I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜 bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/post...

Node.js wouldn't be where it is without the LGBTQ+ community ... As in literally. Many of the most important technical contributions have come from LGBTQ+ contributors. We haven't always done right by them but there's no doubt they are loved. nodejs.org/en/blog/comm...
