Hello, Sorry for the potentially depressing post, but should I be worried about the future of L20n now that Firefox OS itself, which if I understand correctly was by far the biggest consumer of L20n, has an extremely bleak future?
I'm not very familiar with the project so I'm not sure to what extent Mozilla has sponsored development so far, but I'm quite worried that whatever has been going on will stop entirely. If Mozilla contributors cease working on the project, it seems to me that whole thing would become effectively unmaintained. Since the website, tinker app and the few docs that exist are already mostly out of date, I'm worried that it might be the end of it all. I'm saying this as someone who just spent a few hours studying the docs on the website, setting up a simple test case using the unofficial Rust crate, finding out it doesn't support multiline strings, trying to implement them myself, only to find out that the latest JavaScript implementation doesn't support them either while looking for a reference implementation to match. After the FxOS news it seems unlikely that the situation would improve much in the future, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. So yes, it's a bit of a doomsday scenario, but it would be nice to hear what's going on.
