The Android team has been working on introducing the Rust programming language into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) since 2019 as a memory-safe alternative for platform native code development. As with any large project, introducing a new language requires careful consideration. For Android, one important area was assessing how to best fit Rust into Android’s build system. Currently this means the 
source.android.com/setup/build: Soong build system (where the Rust support resides), but these design decisions and considerations are equally applicable for 
blog.bazel.build/2020/11/12/aosp_migrating_to_bazel.html: Bazel when AOSP migrates to that build system. This post discusses some of the key design considerations and resulting decisions we made in integrating Rust support into Android’s build system.
