  • carbon-lang

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

  • Not a C++ programmer, but I'd like to ask: Are Carbon's goals for interop here sufficient for most libraries and frameworks, or will bridge code be required in most cases?

    I see this about exceptions, for instance:

    "Carbon may not provide seamless interoperability support for C++ exceptions. For example, translating C++ exceptions to or from Carbon errors might require annotations or bridge code, and those translations may have some performance overhead or lose information. Furthermore, if Carbon code calls a C++ function without suitable annotations or bridging, and that function exits with an exception, the program might terminate."

  • chromium

    The official GitHub mirror of the Chromium source

  • How does carbon have any intersection with Google Chrome / Chromium development? Some earlier posts:

    - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/...

    - https://security.googleblog.com/2021/09/an-update-on-memory-...

    Would carbon be a variation of "making C++ safer" mentioned in that blog post?

  • Killed by Google

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

  • While I have had time to check this out, more generally whenever I read “Google launches…” I wonder how long until it makes it into the ever-growing graveyard?

  • cxx

    Safe interop between Rust and C++
