I believe Google is putting too much effort into bringing interop between C++ and Rust. Why not simply rewrite the core of Chromium in Rust?
I mean, if a handful guys at SerenityOS can write a web browser from scratch in just a few years surely Google can muster enough manpower to rewrite Chromium in Rust in a couple of years?
Interop is wasteful since there's a large discrepancy between C++ and Rust code. Trying to plug the holes will lead to an inferior product at great cost.
