It seems Michael missed this little piece of FOSS news, so here you go: NihAV was publicly released yesterday: https://codecs.multimedia.cx/2020/07/nihav-released/
NihAV is a new multimedia framework. It's written in the Rust Programming Language by longtime codecs developer Kostya Shishkov.
The objectives are different from ffmpeg, before one of the famous Phoronix trolls asks "Why do this instead of contributing to ffmpeg". Kostya have contributed plenty to ffmpeg/libav in the past.
NihAV has decoders for some rare formats, including codecs used in some old video games that never had a free implementation before.
