Description

Use Case

I'm trying to understand if I can use intervals with Wing, other programming languages have them

For example: A as a developer writing containerised code, maybe I want to setup an interval to hit an endpoint every X seconds

Proposed Solution

Maybe util.setInterval(func, duration) would work? Or something similar?

Only inflight support I imagine?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how intervals work in JavaScript (setInterval) and Go (time.NewTicker), then design a similar API for Wing's inflight runtime. Consider the differences between preflight and inflight contexts.
