I have to say, and pardon me for saying so, but Carbon seems to be utterly uninteresting to me. They are not solving any interesting problems that shows me that they are creating a modern language.

As an example, look at this issue from the mold linker: https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/584

They are looking at creating an embeddable custom dynamic linker in order to greatly reduce loading times, by fixing locations as the file gets loaded in.

The equivalent in Carbon would (for example) be to create a new type of exception handling that changes how we think about exceptions, performance and their cost. Perhaps something like the static exceptions that Herb Sutter has been working on. Instead, they are not adding exceptions at all.

You will have to excuse my disappointment.

Carbon solves a very important problem, to realize Google's vision for C++ which they lost trying to make through ISO.

That is all.

what sort of interesting problems do you want Carbon to solve for you?
