You really have to compare articles like this, which are just a bunch of hand waving around the author's biases, against articles with more concrete statements like the Android team finding a 1000x reduction in memory vulnerabilities compared to C/C++. Thanks for your opinion but I'm going to weigh the people who actually use the language more than you.
- hu3 11mo agoHard disagree. For my reality of developing for smaller projects than Android, I will absolutely weight Android team's opinion less than the opinion of smaller projects. Trying to mimic FAANG engineering practices is a fools endeavour that ranges between naiveness at best and CV padding at worst.

- koverstreet 11mo agoFAANG engineeers can't code for shit, but the one thing they did get right was when they jumped on the Rust bandwagon
- TinkersW 11mo agoThe android team wasn't comparing like to like, though people seem to gotten the impression they were.
