This is just so unfair to a project whose explicitly stated purpose is to be a better C++ and just that to ease the transition and porting of code from one to the other. Even they say, if you are not working with a C++ codebase, don't bother using Carbon, use something else. Great shot but make sure to aim at the target next time.

Unsafe languages are fossil fuels and Carbon is natural gas. Yeah, a small improvement over coal, but an incrementalist addition that only reduces the magnitude, not the direction. Still digging in the wrong direction, IMHO.

And I standby my original assessment that the design is very obviously lacking in long-term experience in another language.
