Duration

The thread stdlib provides the Duration type.

let d := Duration.from_ms(500);

Duration stores a length of time in milliseconds and provides helpers for constructing and inspecting it.

Important Duration helpers include:

• Duration.from_ms(...)
• Duration.from_s(...)
• Duration.from_us(...)
• .as_ms()
• .as_s()
• .is_zero()
• .sleep()

For example:

let d := Duration.from_s(1);
print(d.as_ms());
d.sleep();

The stdlib also provides top-level helpers:

• wait(ms)
• sleep(duration)

wait(100);
sleep(Duration.from_ms(250));

Use Duration when you want time values to be explicit instead of passing raw integers around.
