I understand the focus of your distinction now. "5:00 pm" versus "5 minutes
ago". Yes?

Perhaps I missed it sri, I was curious what your motivation was for
supplying relative time such as "5 minutes ago".

When I initially saw your commit I thought that you were interested in
showing some core logging in the debugger that something happened 5 minutes
ago or such.

Anyway... Sorry to beat a dead horse. Just curious.

understand it you're still calling a Perl function to output pretty time /
cutesy dates -- the very function that Sri was proposing and that you were
suggesting isn't useful because you like to render it on the client
(javascript).  But it sounds like you are still rendering cutesy dates on
the server.  I'm not suggesting that this is sufficient cause to introduce
cutesy dates into Mojo core by any means, just trying to keep up with you
in the conversation and understand your response and rationale.  Sorry for
my inability to understand better.  :D
