    WebP is awesome. So is JPEG-XL.

    JPEG and PNG are archaic and should die already.

    .jxl is also coming btw

      JPEG will never die. Too many things support it at a very basic level. A random CCD camera module on DigiKey probably has an option for direct JPEG output. An 8-bit Arduino will know how to take that JPEG and display it on a cheap 4" LCD screen off Bang Good.

      Formats that sprawl everywhere like that will never, ever die.

      I think webp is great but every time I download a webp meme to send it to my Facebook-only friends, I have to take a screenshot of the image because for some reason messenger doesn’t recognize webp images. Like cmon Zuck why can’t you do anything good…
