Really? How many codecs have your neighbors contributed money for the development of, just curious.
- Telaneo 6mo agoGiven Netflix's involvement with SV1-AV1, (not even that) indirectly, at least 1.
- computerbuster 6mo agoI think these conversations are directed by the parties funding the efforts. Example: "we (large company) want a fast AV2 decoder" -> they pay a specialized team to do it -> this team works in C for the most part, so it is done in C. If there were financial incentives to do it in Rust, they'd pay more for a Rust decoder.
- esseph 6mo agoI'm more interested in the idea of general "people" (the commons) funding complex video encoders. I do wish that was the world we lived in, however :)
