I have made a proposal that includes a behaviour and Elixir code that uses it, so that DateTime functions can be used to get the time in any time one and convert between timezones: Time zone behaviour and functionality (RFC/WIP) by lau · Pull Request #7914 · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub

Hello, is anyone working on this? Is there currently a proposal?
I want to drop some links here.

Here’s the behaviour: Calendar.TimeZoneDatabase — Elixir v1.20.2
And this is the module elixir ships with: Calendar.UTCOnlyTimeZoneDatabase — Elixir v1.20.2
tzdata does also ship an implementation of the behaviour, which does use the IANA timezone database.
This was released in elixir 1.8
