Listen "Comprehensive Rust"
Episode Synopsis
This episode will explore how Rust is being integrated into Open-Source Projects.
● We'll begin by discussing why Google is incorporating Rust into the Android platform, highlighting its memory safety guarantees and performance benefits.
● Then, we'll examine the practicalities of using Rust within the existing Android build system, which relies on Soong rather than Cargo.
● We'll learn about build rules for incorporating Rust binaries and libraries into Android projects using Soong.
● A key challenge is interoperability, and we'll discover how Rust interacts with existing Android components written in C, C++, and Java, especially using the Android Interface Definition Language (AIDL).
● We'll also touch upon testing methodologies for Rust code in the AOSP environment.
● Finally, we'll look towards the future of Rust in Android, considering its potential impact on the platform's security and reliability.
