State of Vue i18n
summary
Vue I18n v9 is rewritten from scratch with a three-layer modular design and a low‑level message compiler that generates JS functions and supports source maps, enabling pre-compile messages to skip runtime parsing. The repo shows 600+ commits, v8 had ~4 million monthly CDN downloads and ~34 million total loads, and v9 ships both runtime+compiler vs runtime-only bundles plus composition and legacy APIs, devtools inspectors, and bundle‑size flags for real migration and performance gains.
