`std/time`

Wall-clock time: points in time (Instant) and the spans between them (Duration).

Both are a count of nanoseconds in an Int64 and nothing else, so they cost what the number costs: comparing and subtracting them is integer arithmetic, and only reading the clock goes to the operating system.

Everything

type ClockThe wall clock.
type DurationThe span between two Instants, or a length of time asked for on its own (2.seconds()).
type InstantA point in time.
extend Int64The short way to write a [Duration]: 2.seconds() instead of a constructor.
fn sleepSuspends the running task for this many seconds.
type TimestampA point on the wall clock: nanoseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
