Given these positive signals
Those idiots waited for 4 years because they followed the hype of the moment. I'm glad I removed Google from my life.

This must be your first time seeing what Google support looks like
This is pretty standard unless you can get an exec’s personal attention.
Given these positive signals, we would welcome contributions
Poor Google doesn't have the manpower to implement it. They can only accept contributions from volunteers.
Google is just a small indie company after all.
Don't worry, they can spare some 20 percent time
"we would welcome contributions to integrate a performant and memory-safe JPEG XL decoder in Chromium. In order to enable it by default in Chromium we would need a commitment to long-term maintenance."
yeah
I.e. the existing implementation is not usable because it's not written in rust
Or would they demand it in Go? Or have they abandoned that?
That might work but didn't think go was
- as safe as rust
- built for CPU intensive operations (aside from potentially concurrent tasks)
The name of the format makes me think it's regular jpeg, but bigger. Wouldn't it be better to be smaller? 🤔
No. They increased the max "canvas" size and increased encoding efficiency. You'd want the file size to be smaller but the file itself to be larger (and consequently more detailed)
It's even more confusing than that; the X is for revision 10, and the L is for long term.
It's an update to the JPEG standard intended to cover expected future uses and capabilities.
~~"10 LTS"?~~
Finally.
