You can see pdoherty926's answer for how to do something with the current time in Elm.

elm-repl doesn't have the ability to work with Signals, and time "changes over time" so it's a signal. There also isn't a Task for getting the time, that I know of. Nor a way to execute tasks in the repl, though I expect that will be feature in the future.
