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 Wait, so JPEG XL isn’t completely dead? That’s probably not what you meant to communicate but I’m so happy to hear that

    fwiw I think that LOC of the reference implementation doesn’t really say anything about anything - even if Firefox “adopted” it, which feels like a sensible choice given the state of things
