I've been trying to figure out an inbuilt functionality in

to format current Unix timestamp to something like "Thu, 08

How do I go by this easily (Currently, long concatenation of
strings is what I'm thinking)?
I saw this thread[1] from 2011 on similar issue. Has it been
resolved? What is the state of toCustomString?

Straightforward solution:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html
Maybe there is something better.
Having to do these stuff with C is a punch in the face.
Or PHP was:
date(format, timestamp);
Almost every other language (ive used) has this equivalent.
