Relationship with/Comparison to `Intl.MessageFormat` proposal? #117

Hi,

I'd be curious to know how this project compares to the Intl.MessageFormat proposal/library and whether it may be compatible (or intended to become compatible) and how the features of each compare, etc.?

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the question!

Please take a look at our Wiki which has resources on this very topic: https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/wiki/Fluent-and-ICU-MessageFormat

We intend to offer Fluent as an iterative improvement over MessageFormat and hence I would consider fluent.js implementation of the Fluent spec as an alternative to IntlMessageFormat library that you linked.

Please let me know if that Wiki article and related ones answer your questions :)

Sorry I hadn't come across that as I had only searched within this fluent.js repo... Will take a look and good to have the comparison--thanks very much! I guess I'll close then as having the info is what I needed...
