The Instructions

“And the Lord spake, saying: ‘First thou shalt parse the JSON. Then thou shalt format the date — but beware, for the months are zero-indexed, and April is three, not four. Then thou shalt compute the mathematical result — but beware, for 0.1 plus 0.2 is not 0.3, and the Lord hath decreed it so by the covenant of IEEE 754.’”

“There’s also a section on the Temporal API.”

“Is it finished?”

“Stage 3.”

“We’ll come back to it.”
