JRuby patch to add Time.timestamp/current_timestamp and Time.microtime: https://gist.github.com/headius/5393552 This is based on system time (System.currentTimeMillis), not CPU time (System.nanoTime) as in the 'jruby' branch of pluid61's timestamp-gem. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8096: introduce Time.current_timestamp https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8096#change-38600 Author: vipulnsward (Vipul Amler) Status: Feedback Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Target version: =begin 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 -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
