Workshop 2: Introduction to ICU4X
Across the globe, people are coming online with smaller and more varied devices including smartphones, smart watches, and gadgets. An offshoot of the International Components for Unicode (ICU), ICU4X enables these next-generation devices to communicate with their users in thousands of languages. Written in Rust, ICU4X brings lightweight, modular, and secure internationalization libraries to low-resource devices and many programming languages.
In this session, you will learn more about the problem space and how ICU4X brings its unique value proposition. Participants will then have the opportunity to dive in and get a simple app running with ICU4X.
