It's already used for parts of the

solid plans to make wider use of it in MediaWiki, but I'd love to see
it replace as much of our messages system as possible. There are some
technical challenges - the message file format is different
(essentially JSON), the way the files are loaded is different, and the
application of messages to the page is different. Some changes in
ResourceLoader will probably be needed to make it robust and easy to
use in the rest of MediaWiki.
That's probably a longer horizon idea. If it were done, though, we
should be careful not to make it harder to have messages used on both
client and server.
