Google announced that Android contains 5 million lines of Rust last year; sounds Tier-1 to me.
- afdbcreid 1mo agoAndroid is a bit special inside Google (also Chromium). They are managed outside the main monorepo (google3) and their policies are different. From what people inside Google have told me, they do want to introduce Rust into google3 but that work has only begun.
