From the article:

    const now = new Date();

The Temporal equivalent is:

    const now = Temporal.Now.zonedDateTimeISO();

Dear god, that's so much uglier!

I mean, I guess it's two steps forward and one step back ... but couldn't they have come up with something that was just two steps forward, and none back ... instead of making us write this nightmare all over the place?

Why not?

    const now = DateTime();
