alt Hacker NewsWhat's wrong with Unix? Or is the complaint that there's no data type for time stamps specifically?
I agree it would be nice to have something with more data types. Binary b64/hex would be nice.

When you read 847548, is that a number or is that Saturday, 10 January 1970?
Having a type removes that ambiguity. It would be more JSONish for it to be human readable, maybe @1970-01-10T19:25:48.
