JavaScript Dates in TextExpander Link

This post by the good doctor is clever. It’s not clever because he does date formatting in JavaScript.¹ It’s clever because he does it by calling a second JavaScript library (Moment.js) stored as a snippet from within another snippet.

I usually do my date formatting with Python, but he’s right about the shortcoming with Python or Shell centric snippets. They don’t work everywhere. As of today, there’s a JavaScript engine on every computer I use.
