Google brands Carbon language as an 'experimental successor to C++'

• carbon-lang

  174 32,188 9.8 C++

  Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)

  

Interestingly, going over their github page (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang), the stated goals are to performance-match with C++ and have interoperability with existing C++ codebases. Which is a bit weird of a goal to have.

• autocxx

  17 2,038 7.7 Rust

  Tool for safe ergonomic Rust/C++ interop driven from existing C++ headers

  

That's not at all in Rust's bill, it needs an interaction layer to talk to C++. Efforts like cxx (and google's own autocxx) try to make this layer more automated and less painful, but the layer is still there, it still has a cost, and it doesn't erase the impedance mismatches between the languages.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Killed by Google

  2,301 2,345 6.9 TypeScript

  Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

That might be true, but they're also a for-profit business, and this is an experimental project. It might be the next big thing, or it might end up here: https://killedbygoogle.com/
