Or click on the date in an account's profile to see what HN looked like on its birthday.
Out of curiosity, for the date rendering, did you xdef racket's date libraries or implement your own date algorithms in arc?
I guess you could've also shelled out to `date -r <timestamp>` which would get the feature done in about ten seconds.
Yes, and we specifically left it as an exercise for the pokey reader to figure out why.
Arc does its own date stuff. We extended it a bit to be able to print things like "x months ago". Edit: and "Feb 31, 2017".
We use it for a browser extension that helps a lot with moderation work. And for general experiments. If I do something more ambitiously new it will probably be in Arc.
Oho, so Arc does compile to JS now.
You gonna release the compiler or what? (Sometime this decade.)
Edit: should be fixed now.
You can't deny it anymore. Everyone now knows that 31st of February exists.
