Natural language support about dateparser

[waltzofpearls]

Hey @Nukesor, thanks for reaching out and proposing the idea of adding natural language support, then volunteering to work on it.

That's brilliant. I once thought about that at some point, especially when I saw python's dateparser lib, which supports parsing relative dates like what you described.

I like your proposed approach: using a separate module, building the parser with pest, using a trait for extensibility, and possibly using the features gate.

Feel free to go ahead and make a changeset for your feature. This repo is still being maintained. It's not hyperactive at the moment, but I always want to focus back on this and iterate on the parsing mechanism to optimize for speed.

Heyo @waltzofpearls .

Turns out, there's a pretty nice and maintained drop-in replacement for chrono-english around named interim.

So, I won't work on this any longer as it perfectly fits my own needs for now :)

Feel free to close this issue. However, if you're still interested in such functionality, you could think about just using interim as well^^
