I was only tangentially involved in X, but was active in a lot of related projects (some Gtk infrastructure, Ghostscript, the seeds of what became Inkscape), and now work on GPU-accelerated font rendering. I also played a central role in getting Rust adopted at Google, and now one of my passions is advancing the Rust GUI space, as I feel like that has enormous potential.

That too, I had no idea, am so impressed. I use your music-synthesizer-for-android code nearly as much as FM7.
:-)
Honestly there were so many small signs that you work at Google, e.g. the fact that you used Bazel and Blaze interchangeably or referring to Carbon as a C++ replacement, although I guess both things are kind of public knowledge anyway...
Whoa. Now why did I think that. Sorry for the mis-attribution.
But also, you really should move to C++, for all the reasons you listed!
