That's a single project, and one of the 2 adoption stories circulating in 2012/3, 4+ years ago (the other was a MySQL load balancer for YouTube or such).

I'm pretty sure there is quite more stuff now, but those known are not much to write home about. Even downloads is not some "huge port" -- the presentation mentions "14,032" lines.

Yes, it mentions "39 files (14,032 lines) deleted" which is not small in my mind. Not to mention they heavily leveraged the standard library and some other projects like groupcache.
