Google put up 1.5M Rust LOC in Android runtime and seeing number of serious exploitations reduced, a single developer created a stable gpu kernel driver in only 3 months are definitely interesting results. Even in your example, firefox’s Rust code amount is catching up with C/C++.

You just don’t see what you don’t wanna see.

The Android runtime does not really excel in performance.

You question a claim about performance

But you don't question a claim about the amount of LOC

You chose what please you as truth, and what doesn't as troll?

Because they've read the source about the amount of LOC? And it's easily verifiable just by a google search. I believe you have enough skill to do it, if you care. Whereas there's no result about Android runtime being slow, so GP comment is completely reasonable?
