Exploring Carbon, the new superset of C++

Carbon is a new open-source programming language developed by Google, positioned as a successor to C++. It offers modern programming practices like generics, modular code organization, and a simpler syntax while maintaining the performance and scalability associated with C++. Carbon is designed for bidirectional interoperability with C++, allowing developers to easily transition between the two languages and utilize existing C++ libraries. Despite being in its experimental phase, Carbon promises improvements in memory safety and expressivity, addressing some longstanding issues in C++. Its syntax is influenced by languages like Rust and aims to provide a more readable and intuitive coding experience. With a public version expected by 2024–2025, Carbon aspires to become a fast, scalable language supporting performance-critical software and offering compatibility and a stable application binary interface (ABI).
