Temporal / ICU4X Sync, 2024-10-16

• @jedel1043 We're in a pretty good place where we need to implement time zones with the ICU4X infrastructure. We're mostly blocked on how we implement time zones, dependent of ICU4X or a standalone thing.
• @nekevss We had a discussion with the ICU4X team about that on Monday and decided that Temporal_rs should own that piece of the puzzle.
• @jasonwilliams I think this is a good idea. I'm hoping I can get a few hours a week to help @jedel1043 and @nekevss with temporal_rs.
• @Manishearth My experience is that it takes work for the implementation, but then also a lot of time squashing bugs.
• @sffc What is the story behind the maintainence/sponsorship of the Boa and Temporal_rs project?
• @jasonwilliams We have a structure/framework set up. We've had sponsorship in the past. That said, there are enough of us that we've been responsive to issue. For example, we were very responsive to TC39 fixing the CSV issue with Yulia (AsyncGenerator). I'm happy to list myself as a contributor and I can discuss the scope of that with Rob.
• @Manishearth I'm open also to helping with some of this code. I have experience getting code up to spec.
• @sffc Do we have a path for time zone support in Q4?
• @nekevss Yeah, I'm planning on that; once that's implement, conformance should be pretty high (~80%)
• @jasonwilliams Are there things in temporal_rs not yet in Boa? That might increase our coverage.
• @nekevss There are some small things, yeah.
• @jedel1043 Can we use Diplomat to make FFI bindings?
• @sffc Yes, absolutely.
