GOOGLE ONLINE SECURITY BLOG: RUST IN ANDROID: MOVE FAST AND FIX THINGS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Google's use of Rust in Android has led to a 1,000x reduction in memory safety vulnerabilities compared to C/C++, while also accelerating software delivery. Rust's adoption means fewer code reviews, reworks, and rollbacks, making it now integral to Android's kernel, firmware, and apps, delivering greater safety and efficiency, even as rare bugs are quickly fixed without undermining overall security benefits.
