Being technically approved by Microsoft is not a proof of quality...

It could as well be the opposite, but Rust does not need a proof of quality today, certainly not from Microsoft. Still, becoming Tier 1 in major trillion-dollar corporations (Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and I know Google also has efforts in that direction) is something.

Google announced that Android contains 5 million lines of Rust last year; sounds Tier-1 to me.

Android is a bit special inside Google (also Chromium). They are managed outside the main monorepo (google3) and their policies are different. From what people inside Google have told me, they do want to introduce Rust into google3 but that work has only begun.

		They wasted a few years trying to introduce Swift then Carbon because they thought the Rust C++ interop wasn’t good enough.
