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.

I really don’t envy the people who’d have to rewrite that monstrosity.
See https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/on-building-jpeg-xl-for-wasm by @tedu@honk.tedunangst.com for the current state of the art method of decoding jpegxl safely, which is both hilarious and sad.
