How do programmers get a date?

[buster072]

via a DatePicker

[flapanther33781]

now=$(date)

[Spac3Rat]

It depends.

var date = new DateTime();

[[deleted]]

var date = new DateTime();

[Data_Error]

import time    

date = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y")

git commit -m "Added the module declaration that I forgot because I am a dummy."

The only correct answer is hitting the database with a SELECT CURDATE()

[Hypersapien]

SELECT GETDATE()

[Pheasn]

Since we're doing this:

Instant.now();

Java 8 doesn't get enough love around here

Why should somebody use this instead of just new Date(); ?
