Localization

Hello! I've not tried using Mint yet, but I find it interesting. The problem is, as I understand, the Mint compiler generates JavaScript code for front-end application, one that runs in Node.js (pre-render) and another that runs in the web browser, or otherwise I'm wrong. I've used a frameworks (Sapper) that facilitate creating SPAs, but have had issues with asynchronous use of localization resources (imagine, multiple users rendering different languages at the same time).

I've a localization library (link), which does not support collation, currency or date-time formatting (I'm waiting for ECMAScript Temporal proposal to be finished), but it does the general work. I think it'd be nice to integrate that in Mint. If that requires the programmer to integrate it, then the same issue would occur as when I was trying to use Sapper (SPA framework for Svelte).

Mint generates code for running in the browser only it does not run in Node.js, also mint doesn't support pre-rendering yet.

I'm not sure what you are referring to, you can interface with JavaScript using the methods described here https://www.mint-lang.com/guide/reference/javascript-interop. In your case you probably need to compile your library into a single JS file which you will be able to use in a Mint application.
