I starting thinking about the Python equivalent of this and it was disgusting.

This?

  $ python -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.date(2019, 3, 12) + datetime.timedelta(days=366))'
  2020-03-12

Beautiful.

Raku is a lot prettier than Python:

    perl6 -e 'say Date.new("2019-03-12").later( :366days )'
    2020-03-12
    perl6 -e 'say Date.new("2019-03-12") + 366'
    2020-03-12

Which recently became even shorter:

    raku -e 'say "2019-03-12".Date + 366'
    2020-03-12

Probably because I have a finance background, I would go straight to Excel.

Which makes dates out of things that are not even dates! (Like gene names)

Ruby isn't much better

    ruby -e "require 'date'; puts (Date.parse('march 12 2019') + 366)"
