Is there a way to get current datetime?

[Evžen Wybitul]

Hey, 

I’m looking for a way to get current datetime (akin do Date.now() in js), specifically to enable some simple benchmarking of algorithm implementations. Is there any datetime module in Pyret, or any way to call into javascript and use it directly?

Thanks,

Evžen

You can use time-now() to return the value of JS’s new Date().getTime(), i.e. the current elapsed milliseconds since January 1, 1970 at 0:00:00 UTC with millisecond resolution. This function isn’t currently documented, since it’s not currently really supported (we haven’t really decided how we want to expose DateTime information yet, but we needed something for our own benchmarks…), but you can use it.
