Hey all, does anyone have a good suggestion on how to measure execution time and log the duration in a finally block?
Is this only achievable explicitly like the following?
```val startTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
try {
    &lt;some code&gt;
} finally {
    val duration = Duration.ofMillis(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime)
}```
Thanks in advance :v:

What about <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.time/measure-time.html|https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.time/measure-time.html>?

If you want to keep the `finally` block you can simplify it a bit like this:
```val start = TimeSource.Monotonic.markNow()
try {
  TODO("Some code")
} finally {
  println("Time taken: ${start.elapsedNow()}")
}```

Or use the TimeSource directly:
```val start = TimeSource.Monotonic.markNow()
        try {
            
        } finally {
            val duration = start.elapsedNow()
        }```

:hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:

Another possibility, though I prefer the more explicit try-finally suggestions above:
```val (result, duration) = measureTimedValue {
    runCatching {
        ...
    }
}
println(duration)
println(result.getOrThrow())```

Thanks guys! Will go with the Timesource approach!
