Google announced today that moving forward they will be allowing Rust code into the Chromium code-base, the open-source project that ultimately served as the basis for their Chrome web browser.

@laund i'm a rust fangirl and i stand by it. while sure, rust has some problems, those are generally negligible or are gonna solve themselves with time (because the ecosystem evolves, i'm still waiting for iced to be usable comfortably and the documentation easy to navigate, but because of system76 i hope that'll improve soon).

there's a lot of technical arguments for rust, and if people then cry about compile times... seriously? (1/2, apparently)

I expect they'd do a bunch of shortcuts for themselves to make it look in the public's eye like their own packages are done right from the day one, pretending to be this big and stable part of the #Rust ecosystem.

Why such lame outcome is expected? Because #Google has a history of abandoning stuff once money is sucked from it. :robotok:
#Rust #Google
