### Intro

**0:00** · \[MUSIC PLAYING\] RODY DAVIS: Hi, I'm Rody for "The Developer Show," and this is your weekly update on the coolest developer news from Google.

### New to the web platform in June

**0:10** · Now that Firefox 114 is stable, there are some new exciting features coming to the web platform.

**0:14** · Starting with the WebTransport API, this is a modern update to the websockets, providing multiple streams, uni-directional streams, and out-of-order delivery.

**0:23** · Next, the SVG element can now support the cross-origin attribute and will work the same way as the HTML attribute and applies to all the image tags in the element.

**0:39** · And Safari 17 adds web apps and lots of CSS features, like container style and font face adjust.

**0:45** · On the Chrome side for the 115 release, we now have scroll-driven animations and a series of technologies from the privacy sandbox, such as frame fences that allow for embedded content with limits to the communication, including the topics API that allows for interest-based advertising without tracking the sites a user visits, and plenty more.

**1:04** · You can learn more on the web.dev blog and check out the latest video on what's new in Chrome.

### Rust fact vs. fiction: 5 Insights from Google's Rust journey in 2022

**1:09** · Rust only reached 1.0 in 2015, which makes it a relatively new language with a lot to offer and discover in terms of performance and memory safety guarantees.

**1:19** · At Google, we have been seeing an increase in Rust adoption.

**1:22** · And pulling from over 1,000 Google developers, we can address some rumors about Rust head on.

**1:27** · Rumor number one-- Rust takes more than six months to learn, which is debunked.

**1:33** · Based on our studies, more than 2/3 of respondents are confident in contributing to a Rust code base within two months.

**1:40** · Rumor number two-- the Rust compiler is not as fast as people would like it to be, which is confirmed by the developers.

**1:46** · Only about 40% of the respondents are finding the speed acceptable.

**1:50** · Rumor number three is unsafe code and interop are always the biggest challenges, which is debunked.

**1:56** · The top three challenges include macros, ownership and borrowing, and async programming.

**2:02** · Rumor number four is about Rust's amazing compiler messages, which is confirmed.

**2:07** · And rumor number five is that Rust code is high quality, which is also confirmed.

**2:12** · 77% of developers were satisfied with the quality of the Rust code, and more than half say that the code is incredibly easy to review.

**2:19** · Stay tuned over the next year for another update, and check out the "Google Open Source Blog" for more info.

### Govulncheck v1.0.0 is released!

**2:25** · Heading over to Go, we can talk about the exciting announcement of Govulncheck, which is a command-line tool to check vulnerabilities in your codebases and binaries.

**2:33** · There is a great video from Google I/O this year you can watch titled "Build More Secure Apps With Go and Google."

**2:40** · The tool is powered by the Go vulnerability database, and you can learn more at vuln.go.dev.

### Enabling New Blockchain-Based Experiences on Google Play

**2:46** · Finally, we can head over to Android to talk about some policy updates.

**2:50** · There's a new policy update which allows new ways to transact with blockchain-based digital content with apps and games on Google Play.

**2:57** · From reimagining traditional games with user-owned content to boosting user loyalty through unique NFT rewards, we're excited to see creative in-app experiences flourish and help developers expand their businesses.

### New policy update to boost trust and transparency on Google Play

**3:09** · Organizations signing up for Google Play now require a DUNS number.

**3:13** · This is a unique, nine-digit identifier that is widely used to verify businesses.

**3:18** · On your app store's listing, the Contact Details section is now being renamed to App Support and now includes a new section called About the Developer.

**3:26** · And finally, there are new expanded developer verification requirements that will help users make confident, informed choices on what to download.
