> Argon agents are working on migrating C/C++ codebases to Rust across Google
Man, I remember back in the days when the cppnext team was refusing to even consider Rust, instead looking at absurd stuff like Carbon and Swift (!), even though half of the engineering staff already knew where this was headed. I hope they got a few good promos out of the delays at least.

So ... Rust still can't beat the C++ implementation :-D
Sorry, didn't mean to ignite a langwar, but it's still interesting to see.
