Cross-Platform:

Dropbox:

• https://oleb.net/blog/2014/05/how-dropbox-uses-cplusplus-cross-platform-development/
• https://github.com/dropbox/djinni

Slack:

• https://slack.engineering/libslack-the-c-library-at-the-foundation-of-our-client-application-architecture-97470b5ef9b3
• non-UI code: We still want Slack to have a great native look and feel, so the UI layer should remain platform code and take advantage of platform APIs

Lang:

C/C++ or Rust:

• https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/styleguide/c++/c++.md#object-ownership-and-calling-conventions
• https://chromium-cpp.appspot.com
• https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/10/Fearless-Concurrency.html
• best effort vs guaranteed
• Rust was chosen because it’s as fast as C (cheap to run) and safer than C (cheap to maintain).
• Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software
