While certain teams within Google are using rust by default, I'm not sure rust is anywhere close in scale for new lines of code committed per week to c++.

For Android specifically, by Q3 of last year more new lines of Rust were being added per week than new lines of C++: https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move...
Sure and android is a small part of Google. Everyone in ads, search, cloud are still predominantly c++ (or something higher level like Java). Rust is gaining momentum but overall it's still small.
