From: elifosterwy@... Date: 2016-03-15T23:23:50+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:74358] [Ruby trunk Feature#12173] `Time#till_now` Issue #12173 has been updated by Eli Clemente Gordillo Foster. I think it would be best for these `from_now` and `until_now` methods to return a Time object rather than a Float. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12173: `Time#till_now` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12173#change-57477 * Author: Tsuyoshi Sawada * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- It is very frequent to have a time instance: ~~~RUBY t = Time.now ~~~ and then after some operations, do: ~~~RUBY Time.now - t ~~~ I propose `Time#till_now`, which is equivalent to: ~~~RUBY class Time def till_now; self.class.now - self end end ~~~ and similar methods can perhaps be defined on `Date` and `DateTime` classes as well. Another candidate for the method name is `until_now`. Then we can do: ~~~RUBY t = Time.now # some heavy operation puts "It took #{t.till_now} secs." -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
