I hope that we can finally discuss image formats without it getting torpedo'd with "jxl is the format Google doesn't want you to use"

I'm also curious if the decoder being in Rust pays off into tangibly less surface considering how devastating the libwebp and libvpx memory exploits were, I suppose only time will tell

Certainly can't be worse :)

Biggest question is should .jxl be pronounced "jexl" or "jay-exl"?

hard g, x, l

I propose jixel. Like pixel, but with a j. That's what the abbreviation looks like to me.

  This is how I say it.

Jay - xl Just like jpeg was jay-peg

With Chrome and Firefox finally shipping JPEG-XL, this nerd-rock song pleading for the format changes meaning. We have given JXL a chance!
