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@mastodon.social browser vendors should coordinate which subset of JPEG XL they want to support, and only this part of the standard needs to get implemented.

    I remember JPEG and that you could never use progressive JPEGs. Some programs even offered an “export for web” feature so that you wouldn’t use any unsupported JPEG features.
