I am trying to get the current time in millisecond using Go language https://golang.org/# 

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"
func main() {

    now := time.Now()
    secs := now.Unix()
    nanos := now.UnixNano()
    fmt.Println(now)

    millis := nanos / 1000000
    fmt.Println(millis)

}

When I run the above code using the mentioned website the output I get is following:

2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC
1257894000000

I am not able to understand why I am not getting current date as result? I tried the same code on another website https://www.epochconverter.com/ and got the correct result which is following :

Time Now is : 
1496230018

Can someone confirm if the problem is related to my code or is the website that's showing the wrong result?

Thanks

It seems like you're running this on the Go playground (play.golang.org). The time is fixed on the Go playground, try running it locally instead.
