gollark: Excellent. PotatOS's scheduler can now measure execution time in nanoseconds for no particular reason.
gollark: Anyone know how `ccemux.nanoTime` works?
gollark: I try and make my stuff reasonably OS/platform-independent.
gollark: blittle?
gollark: PotatOS has a semi-independent VFS/sandbox library, but I had to add a *lot* of patches for sandbox escapes and stuff to PotatoBIOS, so it's hard to use it separately.
