While I agree deployment is probably the major pain point, I don’t see a reason to add time zones or time formatting to Elixir, given those problems are well solved in the community with the Timex and Calendar packages. I prefer the Elixir standard library to continue small and focused.

Time and timezones are basic functionality used in almost any app of substance.

A modern language should have first-class support for these things. :|
