There are no fewer than three epochs associated with Mac OS. The original was 1st January 1904 00:00:00. This is stated in the 1999 AppleScript Language Guide, but I don't recall there ever having been a way to find it out by script and I don't think time zone was considered. Mac OS X was introduced in 2001 with a "Cocoa" framework whose epoch was the first instant (UTC) of that year and "underlying UNIX functionality". The <tt>do shell script</tt> added to AppleScript later that year made it possible for scripts to discover the Unix epoch. Since Mac OS X 10.9 (for library scripts) and Mac OS 10.10 (for running scripts), AppleScript's been able to access parts of the Cocoa system without needing add-ons and is thereby able to get the Cocoa epoch.

=={{header|Frink}}==
Internally, Frink references all date/time values as a number of seconds relative to Julian Day 0 referenced to UTC. The internal numeric type is Frink's "do the right thing" numeric type which can be exact rational numbers, arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers, or even intervals, which gives essentially arbitrary precision and exact round-trip capability to any date/time value stored. These are transparently converted to arbitrary timezones or date systems for display.

Frink also makes it easy to work with date/time values referenced to any arbitrary epoch. For example, to find the number of nanoseconds since the UNIX epoch:
<syntaxhighlight lang="frink">epoch = # 1970 UTC #
now[] - epoch -> ns
</syntaxhighlight>

J does not have an epoch. J's native representation of date and time is a six element list: year, month, day, hour, minute, second. For example:

=={{header|Java}}==
<code>DateFormat</code> is needed to set the timezone. Printing <code>date</code> alone would show this date in the timezone/locale of the machine that the program is running on. The epoch used in <code>java.util.Date</code> (as well as <code>java.sql.Date</code>, which can be subbed into this example) is actually in GMT, but there isn't a significant difference between that and UTC for lots of applications ([http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#getTime() documentation for java.util.Date]).
