Are we Wayland yet? Are we JPEG XL yet? Are we Rust yet? Are we ActivityPub yet?

I've gathered a meta-tracker for the adoption state of futuristic technologies.

Many thanks to the Mozilla Wiki contributors: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Areweyet

Are we JPEG XL yet?

Wow, I just saw this literally two posts above this one.

Haven't heard of JPEG XL pretty much since it died. And now twice in a few minutes.

Thank you, universe.

You haven't heard that Apple supports it now?

"Apple" supports it? Which apps? Not that I care much, I have zero Apple products or devices. 👍

Safari, which is the biggest one. But also in the OS, they committed to supporting it, but I'm not sure if they followed through yet

I mean, it's still insignificant enough that it won't matter yet, right?

But that's still good. It's on the right path. Google needs to get their head out of their ass on this one. Still no sign of it years later though.

Safari support means there's benefit to web server support. Server support means there's benefit to browser support in other browsers. Apple can kick start the network effects necessary to get this standard adopted.

Webp and heic are fine for web, but JPEG XL is special in that it actually has use for print-based and other ultra high resolution workflows, while also having the best path forward for migration from JPEG.

Very good points. 👌

Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

Ooh, well that's wonderful. It's like some grassroots thing. The inventors of the thing refuse to support it, but the people are adopting it on their own. ✊ I'm happy to hear these "news" (to me)! ❤️
