- JavaScript's Date object is inconsistent and problematic, especially with parsing and time zones.
- Date objects are mutable, leading to unintended changes when passed around in code.
- Temporal is a new JavaScript API for handling dates and times, offering immutable objects and better methods.
- Temporal provides clearer methods for date manipulation without mutating the original object.
- Temporal is currently in stage 3 of the standardization process and available in some browsers for testing.
