Instant

record Instant

Identifies one reading of the runtime's monotonic clock.

Instants are suitable for elapsed-time measurements such as delayed splits and debouncing. They are unrelated to calendar time and have no meaningful absolute value.

Examples

Capture a monotonic timestamp

let detectedAt: Instant = Instant.now()
