Library time
This is exported from the core library, which means you don't need to import it.
Support for time and durations.
The Time class represents the wallclock time as an Epoch time (read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time).
Examples
main:
// In this example, we assume the time is 2021-04-21 15:30:35 UTC.
now := Time.now
// By default a time is stringified to UTC.
print now // >> 2021-04-21T15:30:35Z.
print now.utc // >> 2021-04-21T15:30:35Z.
print now.local // >> 2021-04-21T17:30:35.
print now.local.h // >> 17.
summing-duration := Duration.of:
sum := 0
1000.repeat: sum += it
print sum // >> 499500.
print summing-duration // Prints the duration. For example: 1.118ms.
Classes

A wall clock time.
Functions
Stores the given rules in the
TZ environment variable and calls tzset, thus activating it.Valid TZ values can be easily obtained by looking at the last line of the zoneinfo files on Linux machines:
tail -n1 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen
Examples
set-timezone "CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3" // Central European Timezone (as of 2024).
set-timezone "PST8PDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0" // Pacific Time (as of 2024).
