It's what
timestamp usually means -
unix time.

That depends on what you mean by "outside LUA". In Unix/Linux command line, you can use the
date command: date -d '@1410642972'. In Python, there are modules
time and
datetime. Any sensible language has some library to work with unix timestamps.
I wonder what you mean by "something easier to work with". A timestamp is a single number with well-defined meaning, it's not susceptible to peculiarities like other date/time formats (timezone, DST). I think it's best to save timestamps, and only convert for display to users.
