You really want to use a time library built by physicists, which is why I've always appreciated the Go standard "time" library by Russ Cox and Rob Pike.
In contrast, timestamp support in other languages, like R, is based on the C standard lib, which can be painful. I've actually built R libraries that entirely use the Go standard time library in preference to the R builtin timestamp handling, in order to use Go's its vastly better time package. On top of "time", one usually needs date and calendar support. I've open sourced my date, calendar, and timestamp handling library, called "zetm" which has been used in extensive time-series processing production code. https://github.com/glycerine/zetm Enjoy.
