I'm actually one of the main binder userspace maintainers in my day job there (opinions are my own), and I haven't heard about this. Do you have a reference? What has happened is that there is a userspace shim over libbinder called libbinder_rs which provides Rust support for binder, but AFAIK, the kernel driver and main userspace lib is remaining in C++. Still, would be cool.
Hi! Not a Google employee, but I'm volunteering on the Rust-for-Linux project which is bringing Rust bindings to the upstream linux kernel. A Google engineer is working on porting binder to Rust and is contributing as he implements it. See his comments here[0] and here[1].
