Google published a detailed post on why rust is making sense in android, it seems to be primarily
driven from security point of view and memory bugs. Interesting piece is that memory bugs seems to be more in recently added/modified code,so this might fuel new features being written in rust instead of C++/C
Great to see Rust gaining ground here!
Do think Rust will ever be popular in high performance computing (AI, etc)?
hard to say, but when it comes to AI in constrained systems who knows
Android 13 is seeing some rust and its just going to increase over releases to come. I think android is on right path.
