Google's experiment in C++ succession — bidirectional interop as the migration story; announced 2022, still pre-production.

Influenced by C++
Created by Chandler Carruth

Google's Carbon (2022) — Chandler Carruth's announced 'C++ successor' — is the experiment in whether you can migrate a C++ codebase to a safer design: memory safety, generics, and C++ interop as the migration path.\n\nIt is the industry's biggest bet on post-C++ migration; whether it works is still an open question.
