Google has donated $1 million to the Rust Foundation to enhance Rust–C++ interoperability, aiming to accelerate Rust adoption in large codebases like Android and Chromium due to memory-safety benefits; the effort builds on tools such as cxx, autocxx, bindgen, cbindgen, diplomat, and crubit, complements a prior Microsoft grant, and aligns with the Rust Foundation’s new Interop Initiative to ease integration with existing C++ projects.
