Google has just announced a new programming language as a successor to C++, Carbon. This is not the first time, Google had already introduced a few programming languages, some of which have become more popular and prominent than others. Now, at the Cpp North convention in Toronto, as shared by Conor Hoekstra who was in attendance and documented the slides, Googler Chandler Carruth shared the vision for a new programming language called Carbon.

This is not the first time we are seeing the C++ successor. Earlier, a Mozilla project, Rust, was considered a successful successor to C++. However, Carbon has many of the same goals as Rust, such as helping developers to create “performance-critical software.” Moreover, Carbon is fully interoperable with existing C++ code which is the basic goal of the company.

Anyhow, here are some important features of the new programming language,

Introducer keywords and a simple grammar
Function input parameters are readonly values
Pointers provide indirect access & mutation
Use expressions to name types
The package is the root namespace
Import APIs through their package name
Explicit object parameter declares a method
Single inheritance; classes are final by default
Powerful, definition-checked generics
Types explicitly implement interfaces
The project’s code is hosted publicly on GitHub and is open for pull requests, while Carbon’s culture is outlined to be accessible and inclusive for employees of companies and private individuals, alike.

If you’re interested in getting started with Carbon, you can download the source code and experiment with it on your own device.

Na here the new money dey.

Make I free Bun JS first.

Programmers don't need any more language I can't come and kill myself jaare. We have already learning the established languages while some people are still struggling with them.

is it a joke??

A newly launched programming language with little community supporters for now online to solve problems that could be solved with already existing programming languages conveniently

As long as Google is behind it. E go blow, see React and co. Dem be just confusion of frame work and libries, but he blow.

React J's even dey longer to code, than normal J's, but Dem like am like that.

Maybe or maybe not

We are a company looking for carbon developer with 10 years of Experience

What happened to golang

The last time i checked,there were hundreds of programming languages and a lot of people struggle to successfully learn atleast 2 languages.

enough is enough.
THIS IS NOT A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT.
