My old #Rust in #Android team just published a blog post showing Android continues to improve #security by pushing for more memory safe code: https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-things.html

The results are amazing: Android now writes more Rust than C++, and the **Rust changes land faster** due to fewer revisions and faster code reviews. Medium and large changes are **rolled back about 4 times less** than changes written in C++.

Rust in Android: move fast and fix things, https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-things.html.

Another great post from the Android Security team, presenting how Rust is impacting positively the Android code base. Shorter code reviews, fewer bugs, drastically fewer rollbacks… (compared to C/C++)

> The shift to Rust is different: we are significantly improving security and key development efficiency and product stability metrics.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println!(), panic!(), format!(), write!(), log::info!(), and so on. (That is, everything based on format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

'Hello world' compiles 3% faster and a few bigger projects like Ripgrep and Cargo compile 1.5% to 2% faster. And those binaries are roughly 2% smaller. 🎊

This change will be available in Rust Nightly tomorrow, and should ship as part of Rust 1.93.0 in January.

I think this is also the first time that the use of #MLS in #RCS is mentioned in a #Google blog post.

This is what I was working on as my last project: I owned the server-side code ( #Rust running inside a C++ server on #Borg) and I was responsible for designing and implementing the identity provider used on both client and server.

You will find the latest MLS-RCS spec here: https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/networks/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/RCC.16-v2.0.pdf – and I'm looking forward to when my code comes to a phone near you 😄

Added a new rustc lint which will hopefully prevent a lot of very wrong casts: function_casts_as_integer.

In short, if you convert a function to an integer, it will now warn.

Why? Because of cases like:

let _ = [0; u8::max as usize];

u8::max is a function, not a constant (u8::MAX is the constant). Now you get a surprising amount of allocation (and potentially different) every time. :)

So many potential other cases where the end code is NOT the expected one. Well, not anymore!
