Bold of you to assume no one will come up with a replacement date library rather than just getting rid of JS.

It’s javascript. We’ll have gone through 275,760 new datetime libraries before then, it’ll be fine.

String based date processing

Of course! There's already a proposal for a replacement Temporal object.

It’s not just a proposal, it’s already fully defined and almost completely implemented - I believe they’re just waiting on a standards update from ISO for time zone stuff.
