Python

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# Convert epoch 1600000000 to UTC datetime
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1600000000, tz=timezone.utc)
print(dt)  # 2020-09-13T12:26:40+00:00

# Format as human-readable string
print(dt.strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S UTC"))
# Sunday, September 13, 2020, 12:26:40 UTC

JavaScript

// Convert epoch 1600000000 to Date
const date = new Date(1600000000 * 1000);
console.log(date.toISOString());  // 2020-09-13T12:26:40Z
console.log(date.toUTCString());  // Sun, 13 Sep 2020 12:26:40 GMT

// Get individual components
console.log(date.getUTCFullYear());  // 2020
console.log(date.getUTCMonth() + 1); // 9

Go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    t := time.Unix(1600000000, 0).UTC()
    fmt.Println(t.Format(time.RFC3339)) // 2020-09-13T12:26:40Z
    fmt.Println(t.Weekday())            // Sunday
