Ptilopsison Rav1e, an AV1 encoder written in Rust and assembly

I just hope very much that Apple does not take too much time with this. After all, they joined the Alliance for Open Media in early 2018.

It would be nice to finally have a codec again that works with every (modern) platform after such a long time. The split of support for HEVC and VP9 always doubles the effort to distribute content effectively.

With AV1 encoders I have to ask myself every time whether I should read the 1 as 'i' or as 'l'. Dav1d was still easy to guess, but here I really have a hard time.

Apart from that, I am really glad to see how Rust is slowly making an appearance in such fundamental multimedia libraries.
