After the talk, the activity on it is nearly zero since then, in a world where ideas are cheap, show me the code, this does not seem promising to me.

On the other hand, carbon has been very actively developed since its announcement, which also claims to be a typescript-for-c++. Now it also wants to be a memory safe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTJ9omXOQ0

I'm forced to learn rust but I hope carbon will take off ASAP so I can be more productive and my (carbon) code can interface with c/c++ code easier than rust.

Is that true? Seems like he is actively working on it:

https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront/commits/main

compare to carbon it is way much less
But Carbon doesn't have a working compiler or prototype version I can download and try out does it? Compared to cppfront where I have downloaded, built, and compiled / run some demo code.

next year 0.1 will be usable, 1.0 is about 3 years away, sigh, back to my rust fight
