Looks alot like mozilla's project fluent, atleast in the basic use case.

https://projectfluent.org/

I wonder why it hasn't been adopted more widely.

Yes, Fluent informed much of the design of MessageFormat. See this FOSDEM talk: https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/mozilla_intme...

Here's a comparison between the two on Fluent's wiki: https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/wiki/Fluent-and-ICU-...

It seems the last edit of the page was in 2019, so I'm not sure how up to date it is.

They seems to be a strong overlap of people behind both projects, so that likely explains the similarities.

Wow, the in-browser preview is excellent. I first assumed it was just a demonstration and appreciated it very much, but then I realized it was live-editable and was blown away.

I often wonder this myself, this really should be a standard by now.
