Wow this originates from the commit "First draft of the TOML spec". Only hint to the reasoning for this is a comment in an example that says "first class dates? Why not!". FWIW at the time it didn't have "minimal" in the name at least

Yeah it's definitely a string under the hood, but the toml crate turns it into a date time type

Time isn't even a real thing why are we pretending it is and making it a first class type in markup languages? Now we can't use TOML in GPS satellites

there's a lot more wrong in GPS time than just using the 3339 format, tbf

personally I love to compute my time using a different epoch than everyone with whom I will interact, and encode it using a format that I personally, as a design engineer on the team, will STILL BE EMPLOYED TO SEE ROLL OVER!

Unix time_t authors being all "we'll be dead before 2038 so Who Cares" have absolutely nothing on the guy who said "it's 1979 and I don't believe in the existence of 1999"

Isn't the whole point of time_t to abstract this away? (e.g. sizeof(time_t) == 8 on most systems now)

yes; unfortunately, as you already know, C programmers exist

Sure, but that's not time_t's fault.
