Hi,

Is native support for java.time.Instant planned?

Thanks,

Hi Mathias,

We don't have anything planned for this in the short term, but I will
register your interest as a feature request.

Hi,

clojure.java.Date is just painful, using clj-time is quite nice but
sometime you dont want to add additional deps just for time, especially
since java.time is much more useful now then java.util.Date!

we discovered the behaviour that some of datomic functionallity works with
java.time, others we need to do stuff like:
```
(-> (Clock/systemUTC)
(LocalDateTime/now)
(.minus 1 (ChronoUnit/MINUTES))
.toString
inst/read-instant-date)
```

it work with d/index-range but everything else so far throws
`ClassCastException java.time.LocalDateTime cannot be cast to
java.lang.Number `

again i dont want to add clj-time just for tests in a project where i dont
have to use that dep yet...

cheers

Hello,I would like to express my interest in this as well. java.time is
immutable!

[Joe Zulli]

Ditto. This request got a good number of votes in Receptive, so I am
hopeful. Is this on the roadmap?

It is obvious, the java.util.Date is used mostly. so, I think the best way
is to add more util functions for `java.util.Date`. I wrote this lib
<https://github.com/gfZeng/time.clj/>. hope you enjoy it, :)
