It's [current year] already, folks, go home

Question

On most new-years challenges when it is currently not the corresponding year of the challenge, It says this in the front.

It's [current year] already, folks, go home.

You have to output this text with the current year substituted.

I/O

Input: None.

Output: It's [year] already, folks, go home. with [year] changed to the current year.

First test run, got the time instead of the date: It's 8:58 already, folks, go home. — steenbergh, Apr 1 '17 at 9:59
Can I take input and then ignore it (i.e do something along the lines of String goHome(Object foo){return "It's "+currentYear()+" already, folks, go home.";} (but much shorter, of course))? — user8397947, Apr 1 '17 at 17:02
It's a shame I shouldn't compile the challenge to literally: ///, 46 bytes It's the current year already, folks, go home. — Comrade SparklePony, Apr 1 '17 at 17:33
@steenbergh If only school was that way in the morning. xD :P — HyperNeutrino♦, Apr 1 '17 at 21:33
I feel this challenge would be more appropriate if it were "if it's not the current year, output this, else output nothing", but still good challenge +1 — Tas, Apr 3 '17 at 2:50

QBIC, 48 bytes

?@It's `+right$(_D,4)+@ already, folks, go home.

I really should start working on substring...

Explanation:

?       PRINT
@ ... ` String literal: 
        - creates a string with all the text from @ to `, 
        - stores it as the first available string var (A$)
        - and injects A$ at the current point in the QBasic translated code.
+       String concatenation
right$  QBasic function to take characters from the right.
_D      QBIC's call to get the system date as dd-mm-yyyy (_d gets the time)
+@ ...  Second string lit (B$). Doesn't need the closing ` because of EOF.

Update: Substring saves me 4 bytes:

?@It's `+_s_D,-4|+@ already, folks, go home.

?"It's ";LEFT$(DATE$,4);" already, folks, go home.

I don't think it's reasonable to ever expect support for 5 digit years, but if SB gets updated in 10 millennia, then this should work for 1 extra byte:

DTREAD OUT Y,,?"It's ";Y;" already, folks, go home.

\$\begingroup\$ You could save 4 bytes by assigning to a variable and 2 more by dropping the parentheses after now, giving you s="It's "&year(now)&" already, folks, go home." (49 bytes). In fact, you can shave 4 more bytes off by just using It's <%year(now)%> already, folks, go home. (45 bytes). \$\endgroup\$ – Shaggy Apr 3 '17 at 11:10

Gawk, 64 60 bytes

GNU Awk has a couple of built-in function to get current time and date.

BEGIN{print"It's "strftime("%Y")" already, folks, go home."}

Edit

The script can run from a file (-f), which saves 4 bytes (thanks manatwork).

\$\begingroup\$ Actually that is just 60 bytes. The enclosing single quotes and the escape code for single quote are needed only because the shell. You can put the code in a file max.awk and run it as gawk -f max.awk, so becomes clear that only the 60 bytes in the file needs to be counted. (The -f command line option is for free, other command line options would be counted.) \$\endgroup\$ – manatwork Apr 3 '17 at 11:01
\$\begingroup\$ @manatwork I didn't know that -f is free. But it's shorter the way you say it, no matter if it was free or not. I am really confused when counting command line options towards the byte count. Is there a rule or a post that talks about which options count and which don't? I couldn't find it on my own. \$\endgroup\$ – Maxim Mikhaylov Apr 3 '17 at 12:03
\$\begingroup\$ Not a great reading, but we used to point freshmen to On “interactive” answers and other special conditions. Generally, is free whatever is strictly necessary to let the interpreter find the code. \$\endgroup\$ – manatwork Apr 3 '17 at 12:27

C!DateFormat!"It's %Y already, folks, go home."

Try it online!

This is a constant function that returns the year it was defined in. Alternatively, a function that returns the year it was called in:

{DateFormat!"It's %Y already, folks, go home."}

And for an extra byte:

"It's %s already, folks, go home."%Date[].year|C

or

{"It's %s already, folks, go home."%Date[].year}

Nothing too special going on here in either case.
