Intent to ship: Intl.ListFormat
Frank Tang
Spec
https://tc39.github.io/proposal-intl-list-format
Summary
A Stage 3 proposal that introduces a new formatter under Intl.
Intl.ListFormat helps libraries and frameworks format a list in a localized fashion by providing internationalized messages using a customary local word or phrase when available. For example, calling its format() method with ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "Delta"] would return the string "Alice, Bob, Charlie and Delta" in English.
Example
let lf = new ListFormat("en"); lf.format(["Alice"]); // > "Alicce" lf.format(["Alice", "Bob"]); // > "Alice and Bob" lf.format(["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]); // > "Alice, Bob and Charlie" lf.format(["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "Delta"]); // > "Alice, Bob, Charlie and Delta" lf = new ListFormat("zh"); lf.format(["譚永鋒"]); // > "譚永鋒" lf.format(["譚永鋒", "劉新宇"]); // > "譚永鋒和劉新宇" |
Interoperability and compatibility risk
The Intl.ListFormat is new and should have no risk to break pre-existing javascript code.

Yes. Note that since this is a V8/JS feature, this post is just an FYI to blink-dev — no signoff from Blink API owners is required.
