 Replying to [comment:77 swissspidy]:
 > As for reading and parsing MO files, I think there was once a plan to
 integrate https://github.com/dd32/ginger-mo.

 There's been a few optimisations in core, and a bunch of questions raised
 around which/what format of JSON to support (if needed) which made the
 multiple-format in GingerMo not needed..
 GM could be simplified again, and re-benchmarked, or some features
 stripped out of POMO and could probably be just as fast.

 I don't think using the PHP Gettext library is a realistic option for
 WordPress (It's not exactly the best PHP API at all) and using object
 caches isn't good for i18n either (although benchmarks may show a benefit,
 it'll have consequences under heavy load).
