Hi!
Looking at the Rust source for
Instant::now()link, it seems that on some operating systems and hardware, the system clock may not be guaranteed to be monotonically increasing.I noticed Zig's Timer doesn't account for this. Rust goes for a global mutex as the answer, but this seems more fitting for an atomic?
