There are two major internationalization Hey Hi (AI) in the C library: locales and iconv. Iconv is an isolated component which only performs charset conversion in ways that don't interact with anything else in the library. Locales affect pretty much every API that deals with strings and covers charset conversion along with a huge range of localized information from character classification to formatting of time, money, people's names, addresses and even standard paper sizes.
Picolibc inherits it's implementation of both of these from newlib. Given that embedded applications rarely need advanced functionality from either these APIs, I hadn't spent much time exploring this space.

Niko Matsakis: Preview crates

=> ↺ Niko Matsakis: Preview crates

This post lays out the idea of preview crates.1 Preview crates would be special crates released by the rust-lang org. Like the standard library, preview crates would have access to compiler internals but would still be usable from stable Rust. They would be used in cases where we know we want to give users the ability to do X but we don’t yet know precisely how we want to expose it in the language or stdlib. In git terms, preview crates would let us stabilize the plumbing while retaining the ability to iterate on the final shape of the porcelain.
