This resource is a curated list of common misconceptions, or "falsehoods," that programmers often believe about various topics such as time, email addresses, names, geography, and more. It helps programmers by highlighting and explaining these false beliefs, which can lead to errors and inefficiencies in coding. By understanding these falsehoods, developers can avoid common pitfalls and create more accurate and robust software. For example, knowing that email addresses can have multiple `@` characters or that time zones are more complex than they seem can prevent bugs and improve the overall quality of the code. This knowledge benefits users by ensuring the software they use is reliable and functions correctly.

ICU4X is a modern, small, and modular software library designed to help developers add internationalization features like date, time, number formatting, and language support to their apps efficiently. It supports many programming languages and platforms, including web, mobile, and embedded systems, making it easy to use in resource-limited environments. ICU4X uses pluggable locale data, allowing customization and optimal performance with minimal code size. This means you can build apps that work well worldwide with less effort and better speed, benefiting users with accurate, localized content in their language and format preferences[3][4][1].
