Set Timeout in Google Apps Scripts

Question

Is it possible to call setTimeout or an equivalent function in Google Apps Scripts?

When I try to run the following code:

function onSubmit() {   // we've been called, remove trigger, set timeout, re-enable, and then run function   destroySubmitHandler();   setTimeout(function() {     createSubmitHandler();     myFunction()   }, 5 * 1000) } 

I get the following error:

Apparently you can use the function Utilities.sleep() like this:

function onSubmit() {   // we've been called, remove trigger, set timeout, re-enable, and then run function   destroySubmitHandler();   Utilities.sleep(5 * 1000)   createSubmitHandler();   myFunction() }
