This frustration seems unnecessary, unicode isnt more complicated than time and we have far more than enough processing power to handle its most absurd manifestations.

We just need good libraries, which is a lot less work than inventing yet another system.

The limiting factor is not compute power, but the time and understanding of a random dev somewhere.

Time also is not well understood by most programmers. Most just seem to convert it to epoch and pretend that it is continuous.
