    I mean, as long you only need the delta in milliseconds it’s easy. Just count the milliseconds from 1970 to the event. The problem starts when you want to have a human readable representation.

    It’s calenders they suck, not time.

      Well… unless you measure the number of [milli]seconds using something like time_t, which lies because of leap seconds. I.e. even such a seemingly simple interface, in fact, includes a calendar.
