Summary
Add
FastParseras an alternative template parser using valyala/fasttemplate, primarily for TinyGo compatibility.Motivation
TinyGo has limited support for the standard library's
text/templateandhtml/templatepackages due to their heavy use of reflection and other features that are difficult to compile to WebAssembly or embedded targets. This makes go-i18n unusable in TinyGo environments when templates contain placeholders.FastParserprovides a lightweight alternative that works reliably in TinyGo while still supporting the common use case of simple placeholder substitution.Changes

For these features, continue using

FastParser is slightly faster (~5%) for simple placeholder substitution.
