Subject: [ruby-core:53550] [CommonRuby - Feature #8096] introduce Time.current_timestamp


Issue #8096 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter).


A few more thoughts to keep this alive...

Implementation in JRuby:

def Time.timestamp
  java.lang.System.nano_time / 1000
end

There's also currentTimeMillis, but I think providing sub-ms precision is a good idea. ��s seems sufficient to me.

Definitely would like to see this get into 2.1.

A lot of scenarios and applications require the use of (({Time.now.to_i})) which is used as current_timestamp in systems.

The introduction of (({Time.current_timestamp})) {or something with similar with different name} would provide implicit integer timestamp instead of going from 
(({Time.now})) -> time_object -> to_i -> integer timestamp value

So instead of

 Time.now.to_i # Outputs => 1363274618

one could use

 Time.current_timestamp # Outputs => 1363274618

=end
