The claim was "continuing to use C++ indefinitely." For that not to be true they'd have to be looking at replacing C++ entirely. Moving everything to rust/go/whatever. Do you foresee Google doing that?
Google as a company? Not necessarily, I don't have a crystal ball.
ChromeOS as a product? Maybe. (note: not Chrome)
ChromeOS platform internals? I totally could. You don't just rewrite everything from C++ to Rust, because that wouldn't make much sense, but more and more new service/products are being spun up that use Rust (we have docs and stuff https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/r...).
