Thanks for the mention! I heard about Carbon years ago but I'm happy this time I could dig it further for insights now.

It's pretty fun to think about "Carbon to C++ is Kotlin to Java". One very important takeaway from all the discussions here is that, I cannot ship a language right to the target (small) community, as it's impossible to control how people decide to use this language. Which means, I have to focus much on how to improve the experience of application writing. Carbon would definitely be one of the inspiration.

Oh yeah, and I don't need to handle seemless integration with templates, I'm lucky.
