sqlite-jiff (via) I linked to the brand new Jiff datetime library yesterday. Alex Garcia has already used it for an experimental SQLite extension providing a timezone-aware jiff_duration()
function - a useful new capability since SQLite's built in date functions don't handle timezones at all.
select jiff_duration(
'2024-11-02T01:59:59[America/Los_Angeles]',
'2024-11-02T02:00:01[America/New_York]',
'minutes'
) as result; -- returns 179.966
The implementation is 65 lines of Rust.
