You have a really strange interpretation of the word “consider”.




Seems like the normal usage to me. The post above lists other criteria that have to be satisfied, beyond just being a Rust implementation. That would be the consideration.

Mozilla indicates that they are willing to consider it given various prerequisite. GP translates that to being “more than willing to adopt it”. That is very much not a normal interpretation.

From the link

> To address this concern, the team at Google has agreed to apply their subject matter expertise to build a safe, performant, compact, and compatible JPEG-XL decoder in Rust, and integrate this decoder into Firefox. If they successfully contribute an implementation that satisfies these properties and meets our normal production requirements, we would ship it.

That is a perfectly clear position.


How far away is JPEG-XL rust version from Google if Chrome is not interested in it?

You can review it here: https://github.com/libjxl/jxl-rs

Seems to be under very active development.
