By "ordinary developers", you mean non-Haskell developers? Because the standard Haskell time library used Haskell's rich type system to model the semantics of time correctly long before JodaTime existed.
(Citation needed.) E.g. is there any representation of a duration of physical time in the Haskell library?
Some people like JodaTime, but I would be very hesitant to use it until I see a proof that it at least comes close to the Haskell time library, and I am skeptical.
What problems do you see -- or are you just assuming? (I mean there *are* a few problems with Joda-time, most of which have been solved in java.time.* in JDK8.) Regards,
