TLDR: It sucks balls use Jodatime

So basically a joda-like sane api was included as a JSR, making joda obsolete?

Are there any such plans for .NET and NodaTime? They have a more "everything is a package"-philosophy these days, but sensible dates and times really ought to be right in the corlib, especially since the bad dates and time apis are already there.

I've mentioned a few times to MS folks that I'd be very happy for the mscorlib team to make Noda Time redundant. They haven't bitten yet though.

I have been using the Java 8 Time API which seems to have been based on Jodatime, and one dependency less

JSR-310 was developed in large parts by the author of Joda, more than based on Joda it's also based on lessons learned from Joda.

Only if you are using a version before Java 8

Some of the back end systems are still on 1.2.

Something about "no money for licenses and upgrades" on items that use Java.

Not too many in-house developers, aka zero, want to touch that core system.
