delay 5.0;
(<! (timeout 5000))
Blocks in an asynchronous fashion.
(Thread/sleep 5000)
using namespace std::chrono_literals;
std::this_thread::sleep_for(5s);
Process.sleep(5000)
Sleeps the current process.
Argument is either the number of milliseconds to sleep as an integer or the atom :infinity. When :infinity is given, the current process will suspend forever.

Fortran does not have an intrinsic to pause for a specified time period, but it is relatively easy to create an interface to a POSIX C routine
Control.Concurrent.threadDelay 5000000
setTimeout(function(){
// Instructions after delay
},5000);
Javascript does not have a sleep function. This execution flow is structured with a callback (it can be a closure).
Unit is millisecond.
Unit is millisecond.
const sleep = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
await sleep(5000);
Can be used only inside an async function!
Thread.sleep(5000);
Unit is millisecond
Thread.sleep(5000L)
(sleep 5)
local start = os.clock()
while os.clock() - start < 5 do end
Warning: this is busy-looping, which is very inefficient.
os.execute(package.config:sub(1,1) == "/" and "sleep 5" or "timeout 5")
Checks the path delimiter to tell the OS, then executes the appropriate sleep command.
sleep(5);
sleep 5;
sleep 5
Thread.sleep(5000)
(sleep 5)
Same as Lisp.
5 seconds wait.
