Why not just use the Timex library for now? Then timestamps and timezones are in good shape.

Even as a newbie to the ecosystem it didn't take long to discover that time functionality was lacking in Elixir but the Timex library makes that a solved problem with little effort.

Looking forward to seeing what comes up in the standard library for that in the future.

I've had a great time with Timex (pun not intended). I hope it gets merged into the language as is its goal.
