It's easy to write your own:

````d
import std;

void main() {
	auto curTime = Clock.currTime;
	auto dt = cast(DateTime) curTime;
	auto fmtTime = format("%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d",
		dt.year, dt.month, dt.day, dt.hour, dt.minute,
		dt.second);
	writeln(fmtTime);
}
````

Output:
	2024-01-18 16:21:51

You have maximum flexibility to format it however you like.
