Thanks for the post, I enjoyed reading it.

There is a small typo in this sentence: "As long as we’re willing to say that Carbon is is about reducing the reliance on the C++ Standard Committee ...". There are two "is".

[PaulDavisThe1st]

It's a hangover from the ill-fated Clinton programming language, where you repeat an operator (such as "is") to ensure there is no ambiguity about what your intention is.

Did you mean to write "there is is no ambiguity ..."?

Too early for that pun, it works better at the end as a punchline of sorts, "ensure there is not ambiguity about what your intention is is."
