TIL: Sweden had February 30 in 1712 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1712_in_Sweden , so I decided to see how chrono handled that.
use chrono::TimeZone;
use chrono_tz::Europe::Stockholm;
fn main() {
let feb30 = Stockholm.ymd(1712,2,30);
println!("Date: {:?}", feb30);
}
target/debug/feb30
thread 'main' panicked at /home/snaggen/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/chrono-0.4.34/src/offset/mod.rs:252:40:
No such local time
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Result (as expected): Not well! 😄
I also tested Java with
ZonedDateTime feb30 = ZonedDateTime.of(1712,2,30, 0,0,0,0, ZoneId.of("Europe/Stockholm"));
with simmilar result
java.time.DateTimeException: Invalid date 'FEBRUARY 30'
So, lets take a minute of silence for all the programmers of history related software, may the spagetti monster have mercy on their souls.
OMG why did they have FEB 30th? That seems cursed and unbased AF.
