Localize: locale-aware Elixir, all in one library

Kip Cole

Kip returns with his shiniest new library, Localize — locale-aware formatting, validation and data access for Elixir, built on the Unicode CLDR repository. It consolidates the ex_cldr family into a single package covering numbers, currencies, dates and times, units, lists, collation and MessageFormat 2, with CLDR data loaded at runtime — no compile-time code generation.

That's a wrap

Thank you

Thanks for coming. Stick around for a chat, and we're always after speakers, first-timers included.
