Ahh, good point. I'll add that to Java 8 hotness list. Thank you.

UPDATE: Couldn't add it to the original post (edit has expired), here is more info about Joda Time for Java 8[1] for folks that are interested.

JSR 310 is not Joda for Java 8 (or 7). It's by Joda's author and uses a very similar API, but it's a cleanroom implementation and not compatible with Joda: over time, Stephen Colebourne (Joda lead dev) found core issues in Joda, and JSR-310 is the occasion to use the lessons learned from Joda.

True, but the gap is much, much larger between JDK Date/Time classes and Joda vs that between Joda and JSR-310.
