I am new to the Pharo world and looking at capabilities for potential applications. One of the first things I am interested in is Calendar processing capabilities. I haven't had a chance to look at the code yet, but specifically how much does Pharo's Date/Calendar capabilities match that in the java.util package for Java 9? Additionally, is there any way to give the number of business days between two dates for a particular local calendar? If so, what's the format for a local calendar? I'm going to take a look at the code shortly, but if anyone can shed a general light what currently exists it would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Jim
Hi Jim you should have a look at the Aconcagua library. It has been designed by people making business in stock management. You can find two pdfs here: http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/Teaching/CoursAnnecy/0506-M1-COO/ And their authors are still around in this mailing-list. Now it may means that you have to extend it to fit your need. I like what they did. There was also a library called chronos but I do not know its status it was supporting many different calendars. Finally I think the core library should deserve some love because sometimes I see it limited but when I compare with the java counterpart I saw, it is good :).

Aconcagua is available via the catalog. Here is what I found in my harddisc about chronos. I can send you the zipped file with old code (probably should be ported to Pharo). On Sat, Dec 23, 2017 at 10:32 PM, <publius789@gmail.com> wrote:

This is very helpful. Nice holiday weekend reading! Sure, if its not too much trouble you can send it to me. Thanks.

There is a port to Pharo (and gemstone) of Chronos here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Chronos/Chronos I think I last tested it in Pharo 4. publius789 wrote

[...] +1 I re-implemented the core Chronos features in PLT-Scheme (Racket) and Common Lisp years ago.
