    Wrangling Untrusted File Formats Safely

    Project mention: Rust in Android: move fast and fix things | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-13

    > Chromium: Parsers for PNG, JSON, and web fonts have been replaced with memory-safe implementations in Rust, making it easier for Chromium engineers to deal with data from the web

    I find this surprising, isn't Wuffs[1] (also made by Google) an even better fit for this particular use-case? (It has compile-time spatial memory safety, where Rust has compile-time temporal safety but runtime spatial safety, with bound checking).

    Obviously for general-purpose system programming, Rust is a no-brainer and I'm happy to see Google pursuing their rustification of Android.
