also I think I'm the only one on the planet using

java.time.Duration

, so perhaps a pair of

value: Long, unit: TimeUnit

is better.

haha not just you! it's starting to catch on - https://github.com/google/guava/commit/9bf6d959014abb08f6d42902c9ce252e16ac0ea4

neat, I hope we see more of this. I'm also wondering if kotlin can create one thats #multiplatform, seems like it shouldnt be too hard to use Java.time.duration on JVM and a string similarly formatted on js. One of the reasons I like it so much is that we have a couple user entered timeout fields, and for test data we can use

val <http://Int.ms|Int.ms> get() = Duration.ofMillis(this)

, which makes for neat test data entry in kotlin

I was trying to write a multiplatform time library so I can write things for java.time and use them in JS
