What would you think of this function allowing to run a callback at a given
date?

That thread is not relevant to the question at hand.  That linked
thread is talking about moving the definition of setTimeout() from DOM
to ES; this thread is talking about letting setTimeout() take a Date
object instead of a numeric delay argument, and run at that given
date.

(Unless you were trying to say that, as sorta concluded in the linked
thread, this is a DOM issue rather than an ES issue. In which case,
okay, but you could have been a lot more direct. ^_^)

I may have linked the wrong thread by accident. I was trying to link a
thread I started a few months ago about moving it from the DOM into ES.

I think it would be useful, more for Node.js context, to run task in a
cron-way natively (there must be libraries doing that)
