Most standard libraries still have support for the Julian calendar. That stuff is never going away.

Julian calendar is still used by the US Navy. Every supply department office you go into has a conversion table up on the wall.

I doubt it's "most". Python, Javascript, and C++ don't seem to. The only ones I found that do seem to are C# and Java.

I just got a ruby gem from someone who actually made tables on the stuff. I made a script that cut out far past and future times to lower loading time from 10m to 30s and figured I could upgrade the gem to leverage an expert’s research as timezones changed (e.g. India changing zones)
