Seems like Jiff got some performance optimizations (github.com)

It seems like @burntsushi@programming.dev have added some optimizations to the Jiff date time library... so now it should generally be faster than 'chrono' and 'time'. Jiff is quite impressive, the 0.2.1 version number really doen't reflect its quality.

Ah I didn't know about this. I've been fighting chrono (and the concept of time in general) trying to parse an iCal file to show a week of events... which you'd think would be easy, but it's super complicated. Maybe this will make it a little easier.

    I personally think Jiff is based on a very solid design, as it is inspired by Temporal, which is a TC39 proposal to improve datetime handling in JavaScript. I have done some date time handling with chrono, but I find jiff much easier to work with. So, I can recommend you take a serious look, and see if it makes your life easier for your use case. Now, it is only version 0.2, so the API might change before 1.0, but it seems to respect semver, so there shouldn't be any surprise breakage at least.
