Why JPEG XL Ignoring Bit Depth Is Genius (and Why AVIF Can't Pull It Off)

1. jxl-oxide

   1 8 455 6.7 Rust

   Pure Rust implementation of JPEG XL decoder

   

   I did some reading recently, for a benchmark I was setting up, to try and understand what the situation is. It seems things have started changing in the last year or so.

   Some links from my notes:

   In case anyone is curious, here is the benchmark I did my reading for:

   > Mozilla also isn't interested in supporting it

   Mozilla is more than willing to adopt it. They just won't adopt the C++ implementation. They've already put into writing that they're considering adopting it when the rust implementation is production ready.
