Do you have an opinion on Carbon?

Well, for languages that are now touting interop with C++, and the emergence of a mainstream memory safe language like Rust, Carbon seems like a retrograde step to me.

Val is probably the next language that fleeing C++ developers should get behind.

There's even science behind it: https://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2022_02/article2.pdf

from what I understand carbon doesn't have any working c++ interop. it's in slides at the moment and will take a long time to develop.
