This is calling back into the Go standard libraries such as "time" to use their functionality, even after having translated from Go -> Lua. Go compiled code can be invoked from the interpreter, for speed. Even though LuaJIT is quite speedy, compiled Go code is usually faster. The fix I pointed to above makes the b.After(a) call work. Otherwise the 'a' argument was getting used twice/mixed up with 'b'.
