In Ruby (with ActiveSupport) I would do something like 4.days.from_now or 30.days.from_now.
If I really needed “one month from now” on some specific day of the month that not every month has I’d do:
def 31st_of_next_month
next_month = (Time.current.end_of_month + 1.day).beginning_of_month
day = next_month + 31.days
return day if day.month == next_month
# last day of month if no 31st
next_month.end_of_month.beginning_of_day
end

It seems really weird that there’s so much pushback against “date time math is tricky, read the manual to find out exactly which compromise your library chose”.

Why wouldn’t you just use the ruby functions for adding a month to a date?
