As one example, some clocks are cpu specific (rather than system specific). When a thread gets scheduled to a different cpu, it might be talking to a different clock, and getting a backwards time.
The user might also be changing the clock while the program is running, of course.
If the forward direction of time is important, make sure the the source of time is a monotonic clock API.
It's funny to say json and edn represent data, because they are both strictly UTF8 encoded - raw bytes have to be encoded somehow (with neither standard specifying a prefer erred method) to be represented.
Why is this important?
Sometimes we want to embed a binary formatted piece of data (e.g. an image) as part of our data.
My father was a commander in the six-day war, and certainly could not speak Polish. This is the first time I've heard of this notion.
Most anyone raised in Israel would not be able to speak Polish clearly enough to communicate commands, and most commanders (including the chief of staff Rabin) were born in (then) Palestine.
