Near the bottom of SHOOs e-mail, he does explicitly say he didn't look at Tango.
I see no reason not to trust that, similar APIs notwithstanding. There really aren't that many ways to make a sensible stopwatch API -- you need a start(), a stop(), and some way to extract the time inbetween in various units. std.perf.PerformanceCounter looks like that too. -Lars On Tue, 2010-08-17 at 05:05 -0700, Steve Schveighoffer wrote: > in anticipation of what might happen... > > Tango does have a StopWatch object, it looks like this (API only): > > void start() > Start the timer > double stop() > Stop the timer and return elapsed duration since start() > ulong microsec() > Return elapsed time since the last start() as microseconds > static this() > Setup timing information for later use > ulong timer() [private, static] > Return the current time as an IntervalI hate to do this, but I don't want to > incur any more issues from the Tango team.
