Hi Artur, I think I understand why you'd like to have Date and long support, but I deliberatley didn't add them.
For long, the reason is that I am trying to move users of Joda-Time to a world where objects are typed (Instant/Duration) rather than untyped (long). It also greatly reduces the number of methods that have to be coded in the API. For Date, the reason is similar, however it is complicated by the fact that there are two valid ways to convert from a Date to a Joda-Time object. The first way uses the deprecated get methods on Date, and the second uses the millisecond long value. These can produce different results in certain edge cases (where timezone rules differ between the JDK and Joda-Time). As such, an API on Days that accepted a Date would need to choose which route to go down. Instead, you do that yourself, when you choose how to create the LocalDate/DateTime object. Hope this answers the question, if not entirely helps!
