Shipping Rust in Firefox

Mozilla’s first Rust media parser. I’m happy to report that their code will be the first Rust component shipping in Firefox. For the Rust community as well, this is a real achievement: Rust code shipping to hundreds of millions of Firefox users. Our preliminary measurements show the Rust component performing beautifully and delivering identical results to the original C++ component it’s replacing—but now implemented in a memory-safe programming language.
