The benefit is that the ECMAScript Internationalization API lets developers
create a more consistent localized experience for their users, with the correct
date, time, and number formats, the culturally appropriate calendar, correct
currency symbols, and correct sorting. It also helps avoid latency by removing
the need to send lists back to the server for sorting.
Is it possible to self-host this functionality in JS? Would it make more
sense to just build this functionality as a JS library?
This really feels to me like a small feature which isn't worth 20% of
our footprint, and we should be pushing back to find ways to make it
possible to implement as a JS library or build in asynchronous
functionality for dynamic download of locale data as needed, or both.
