Update FluentNumber to use ICU4X about fluent-rs HOT 5 OPEN

What are the approximate steps for working on that?

You can go to issue #1441 and say you'd like to take it and ask for mentorship. Someone from our team will mentor you through that.

If you prefer some other feature of Number Formatter you can ask here unicode-org/icu4x#275 and we'll help you carve out correct API to work on.

The concept in ICU4X is to divide what JS knows as NumberFormat into a tree of more specific and smaller formatters.

I thought about implementing percentage formatting, but I'm a bit worried about language-dependent formatting, do you have any advice on how to do it?

I'd wait for ICU4X NumberFormatter, we have scaffolding for it in https://unicode-org.github.io/icu4x-docs/doc/fixed_decimal/index.html for some aspects, and unicode-org/icu4x#1441 for others.

Maybe you'd like to help with that? :)

Yeah, I was looking at that a bit. What are the approximate steps for working on that?

In Firefox we are using ICU4C to do this, but the examples in fluent-rs should be backed by ICU4X's number formatter. I'll update this issue to say as much.
