I’ve been dealing with an example of just what you described: Unicode normalization and collation. There’s a good normalization library in Rust—in terms of the quality of the code, standards conformance, how comfortable I am depending on it, etc.—but it’s a full order of magnitude slower than icu4c.[0] Which shouldn’t come as a surprise! Some of these things take decades. [0]: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/issues/93#issuecomment-...

Hi all! I've been working on ECMA-402 for the last 6 years on behalf of Mozilla. I'm excited to see it showcased on HN! We have an amazing, inclusive and open community of engineers, linguists and standardization exports from all of the World from largest corporations to smallest non profits and maintainers of open source little libraries. If you'd like to see what we're working on, see https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/master/ecma402/README... If you'd like to join us, please check out https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md Our biggest challenge now is to make sure that anyone can use ECMA-402 - either with a well supported JS engine (V8, SpiderMonkey, JSShell etc.) or via library. To achieve that we're working on Rust project called ICU4X which aims to be able to back ECMA-402 in web browsers, on servers, in cl

ient solutions and offer FFI to many programming languages including to JS over WASM. If you'd like to help us with that, there's tons of work and we're very eager to grow our community!
