@grishka well, PHP's stdlib was basically starting as thin wrappers over C stdlib functions.

Python also has it in seconds, but it does this weird thing where its timestamps are floating-point.

C# seems to use 100-microsecond "ticks".

Go uses nanoseconds, iirc.

So yeah, it's even more ambiguous.

If I have a choice, I usually prefer ISO 8601 strings myself. They're standard, unambiguous, human-readable, and even sortable as strings.
