TIL: TypeScript 6.0 now has native types for the ECMAScript Temporal API. This is the death knell for libraries like moment.js. Temporal provides a much better API for time zones, calendars, and duration math. Used it today to fix a nasty UTC-offset bug in the activity timeline.


```typescript
// Native Temporal API
const now = Temporal.Now.zonedDateTimeISO();
const nextWeek = now.add({ days: 7 });
console.log(nextWeek.toLocaleString());
```
