Description

@rbasso

The way it is now, gigasecond has some problems:

  • It is too easy and boring.
  • All answers are almost the same: fromDay = addUTCTime 1e9
  • Does not match exercism/x-common/gigasecond.json.

Seems that, at least in other tracks, it can be interesting: #192 (comment)

In the Go track gigasecond is a fantastic exercise. People tackle it in so many different ways, and there are myriad opportunities to talk about idioms in the language and certain language features.

I think that if it can be turned into a more interesting exercise, then that's worth doing. If not, just deprecate it.

Edit: This exercise was changed in branch hspec-fail-fast. Please use that branch for any PR related to it or wait until it's merged in master.
