getting Date.now() in elm.

[David Acevedo]

Hi, Is there a way to get the Date now in Elm?

[Max Goldstein]

Date.now() is tricky because it's not a stateless function. It can change every time you call it (with no args).

I can point you to the Time docs, which include a way of getting the current time updated periodically, and the Date docs, which can convert from a Time. But if you're new to Elm, this might seem like a lot of complexity. (It's not in total, but it's a lot up front.)

Evan mentioned in a similar thread that a task `Time.now` will come in 0.17.  I, for one, can't wait
