1M only? Google pays 500M (half a billion Dollar) to their rival Mozilla Firefox. Each year. I don't want to make this a Mozilla thread, just want to say they could have done more than just a million Dollar for Rust. Given that Google uses Rust as well.
The money Google pays to Mozilla has a direct ROI, since more people use their search engine.
Giving money to the Rust foundation only helps Google very indirectly, by being generally benefitial to software companies.
Google is using Rust more and more in Android, Chromium. So its in Googles direct interest to have a better interoperability between Rust and C++. https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/31/rust_google_c/ and https://www.techradar.com/pro/google-hails-move-to-rust-for-huge-drop-in-memory-vulnerabilities are articles talking why Google likes using Rust.
