Hi, In SpiderMonkey, we can very easily make Date.now() return fractional bits, which allows sub-millisecond timing. I've been using this for a few weeks, and it's been very useful for my small purposes (more accurate benchmarks). We're now looking at making this a feature of Date.now().
According to Brendan's reading of the standard, this is allowed, partially due to Date.now() being underspecified. The question is whether this is a good idea, or if we should shelve it pending the nanoAge proposal, or propose a Date.nowWithFractionalBitsAndABetterName() instead? The Mozilla bug is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585152 Comments appreciated.
