    Pretty much every codec in every browser is written in an unsafe language, unfortunately. I don't see why JXL should be singled out. On the other hand, there is a JXL decoder in Rust called jxl-oxide [1] which works quite well, and has been confirmed by JPEG as conformant. Hopefully it will be adopted for decode-only usecases.

    > It’s absolute insanity that we write codecs — pure functions — in an unsafe language that has a compiler that defaults to “anything goes” as an optimisation technique.

    Rust and C++ are exactly the same in how they optimize, compilers for both assume that your code has zero UB. The difference is that Rust makes it much harder to accidentally have UB.

    There are other decoders [0] written in a "safe language" (rust) listed as well. So no there are many "safe" implementations

    Found another JXL project in Rust called JXL Oxide. It's in its early stages so no need for a separate post yet imo. This other project is the Rust implementation of the JXL decoder.
