How does Elixir stack up to Julia in the future of writing machine-learning software?
Carbon at least open sourced (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang) and can be tested on their experimental compiler w/o sign up. Their ethos and whole approach feels a lot less 'scammy' than Mojo does to me at the moment.

Ask HN: Is there a “simple C++” language trimmed down to something “modern”?
There have been a lot of recent development around a "simpler c++". I think google carbon ( https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang) and hurb sutter (https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront) are probably the most advanced "proposal". Both languages are highly experimental and really far away from being production ready if ever.

Modules and Imports
Anyway, have you heard about make? It is an (almost) standard piece of software that has existed for 47 years and should help solve some of those problems. Java's classpath also comes to mind. You can also look at PSR-4 and Carbon's approach where an imported path matches some filesystem path which is not necessarily relative, allowing you to name some path and then import relatively to it (eg. you tell the compiler that Acme=/usr/includes/Acme and then importing Acme.Parsers.Ini looks for /usr/includes/Acme/Parsers/Ini.owlisp). Also look at Java Modules and Rust Crates.

What features would you like to see in rust?
I also don't dislike what (the as of now mostly vaporware) carbon is trying to do in terms of implicit conversions. At least as it pertains to numbers (imho they take it too far by allowing user defined implicit conversions). I like how they define their rules: The conversion must be losless and semantics preserving. That also lays out clear rules when an int to float conversion is legal. https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/expressions/implicit_conversions.md

Is it worth learning c++ in 2023 when I am the first year student of Computer Science?
Many of the supposed advantages of Rust you listed are not specific to it. Carbon will have all of that, safety features included, but unlike Rust it won't try to force anything onto you. C++ only doesn't implement them to preserve backwards compatibility (again, because it's not just a hobbyist language to Rust).

Will Carbon Replace C++?
Not really, at least not during this decade.
> Note that we don't expect to finish the 0.1 language work in 2023. Our goal is to make sufficient progress that we can complete it in 2024, but there are still many things that can go wrong and cause significant delays.

So while an interesting experiment, and it can even get an ecossytem of its own, provided it doesn't go out of steam, it is still quite far from that.

Oh, you thought that function was unreachable?
However, what used to be a strength of clang's is now a weakness. clang was much quicker to get new C++ features during the 2010's, but that seems to have slowed down significantly during this decade. This is because Google and Apple have been refocusing their efforts on other languages. Google tried to stump for a commitment to ABI breakage in C++ and when this failed Google decided to refocus development effort onto a C++-compatible language named Carbon. And of course, Apple has been trying to get their developers off of Objective C and onto Swift for years now.
