Google introduces Rust code for Chromium for more security

Google has officially said that it now allows Rust code to enter the Chromium code base. The Pixel phone maker introduced the Rust toolchain during the Chromium build.

The company has officially said that it will support Rust programming language next year. Google’s introduction of Rust for Chromium can make this open-source browser simpler and safer than C++.

it is compiled programming language developed by Mozilla. The design principle is “safety, concurrency, and practicality”, and supports functional, concurrent, procedural, and object-oriented programming styles.

The high-level summary is that without additional interop tooling support:

  • Passing pointers/references across languages is risky.
  • Narrow interfaces between the languages is critical to make it feasible to write code correctly.
