That would probably be the case in many languages as it's char (or single-character string) vs integer (or other numeric type), but why the fuck is it 2000-01-01 in particular? WTF indeed 🤯

This language is absolute hell!
With lots of quirks that work this way "just because" — as someone thought "why the hell not?" at some point in the past and now no one dares to touch it and bring some sanity into it — as it might break something in the decade old codebase of some project, so more newer quirks keep growing out of old ones just to expect more or less predictable behavior even though to those unfamiliar it doesn't make any sense at all 😩
