The current JPEG XL decoder in #Firefox apparently consists more than 100,000 lines of multi-threaded C++

For just decoding an image format.

Not sure what it says about the format, the implementation and the Internet at large.

    @bagder We had 100kloc C++ in a smart radiator valve that saved a bunch of extra energy.

    I think it is just a reflection that extracting efficiency requires complexity.
