Fluent VS textwrap

> Typical printf usage is imperative and additive:

And unless you want your translator to hate you, you really, really mustn’t do this in user-facing output.

(OK, you can if you really want to and if you’re ready to give them the same tools[1], but it won’t be simple. Although I’m unaware of any professional translators supporting this either—most use a CAT, and the Fluent approach ignores those.)

I wrote one for creating a Fluent library for PHP.

No. fluent-vue uses Fluent syntax from Mozilla https://projectfluent.org/. Which, I would say is just as powerful as ICU but is much more readable.

I think Mozilla's translation system called Fluent can handle that.

After few months of frustration with trying to use the "de-facto" internationalization library for Vue.js - vue-i18n, I've decided it is time to replace it. And that is why I have created fluent-vue. I will write more about it and Fluent syntax it uses in my following blog posts.

Having used and written a parser for a similar recoverable localization language (https://projectfluent.org/) I'm sold on it.

It makes a lot of things easier. It's kinda like adding trailing comma to lists. It's both boon when writing lists by hand and generating it via code.

Projects are things you do for fun to learn. A few years ago I got curious about Rust and so I started reading about it. My learning project was text wrapping: https://github.com/mgeisler/textwrap

The demo shows how Textwrap can be used to wrap both proportional and fixed-width text. In the demo, the text is rendered on a HTML canvas element, but it could just as well go to a PDF file, a GUI, or similar. The ability to wrap text outside of the terminal was added in version 0.13.0.
