Unix Timestamps with Go

Unix timestamps are very easy to use and straightforward to implement in Go.

Current Unix timestamp (in seconds) with Go

             
            package main

            import (
                "fmt"
                "time"
            )
                
            func main() {
                var ts = time.Now().Unix()
                fmt.Println(ts)
            }

                time, err := time.Parse(timestring, "02/28/2016 9:03:46 PM")
                if err != nil {
                    fmt.Println(err)
                }
                fmt.Println(time.Unix())
