I'm not sure I follow the use case for Kotlin's Duration it seems to be missing .between ? So I need to use Java's, in which case I can't use Kotlin's because importing both doesn't work? What am I missing?

[ephemient]

you can import x as y to get around the name conflict locally

[TwoClocks]

oh, and call kotlin's version something else?

[TwoClocks]

or java's, I suppose.

[ephemient]

either or both, right

[TwoClocks]

it doesn't look like Kotlin's Duration will convert to a java Duration.

[TwoClocks]

?

[TwoClocks]

oh, but there is a function to go the other way... ok.

@TwoClocks you might want to use kotlinx-datetime. You'll get all you need, including operator fun Instant.minus(Instant): Duration to do thisTime - thatTime.

@Didier Villevalois thanks! I was not aware of this library. It solves all of my problems.
