  • fluent

    Fluent — planning, spec and documentation

  • Hi! Thank you for your critique!

    > 1) “Your knight has killed a dragon with a crossbow”

    We have a proposal for dynamic references to address this problem - https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/issues/80 - it's non-trivial but I hope we'll see it solved in Fluent and/or in MessageFormat 2.

    > 2) The parser is extremely sensitive

    True. It's on purpose. We wanted to start with strict and loosen, rather than the opposite.

    > 3) The input files mandate a weird arrangement of new lines for even the simplest branching

    Same as above.

    > 4) The documentation is too Spartan to know what happens in edge cases.

    We're a small team :)

    > It heralds itself to be the saviour of all i18n, but it’s literally worse than the mess that came before it.

    I'm sorry to hear it doesn't work for you. I'm relieved that your criticism is seems more subjective except of one missing feature that no other l10n system has as of yet.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
