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.

And, just wondering:
How many of those lines are for handling security issues such as boobytrapped JPEGs?
How many lines do the other HTML rendering engine use for the same function?
The graphical web has many sins to make amends for!
