Revolutionizing Time: Decipad's Interval Approach to Dates
2025-08-12
Decipad introduces a revolutionary approach to handling dates, treating them as intervals rather than precise moments. This paradigm shift eliminates the need for milliseconds and makes date calculations more intuitive and aligned with human thinking. For instance, '2023' represents the entire year, and 'March 2024' represents the whole month, avoiding the implicit assumptions about specific times that lead to bugs in traditional date libraries. This interval representation simplifies calculations; subtracting two dates directly yields a duration in human-friendly units like days, hours, or minutes. This method is cleaner, easier to understand, and avoids complexities such as timezone conversions.
