Google launches Carbon that aims to overthrow C++ Google launches Carbon that aims to overthrow C++

Last week, tech giant Google launched Carbon, an experimental language that is presented by the authors as a replacement and as a successor to C++. Its syntax is pretty similar to C ++, but even though C ++ has its drawbacks, it will be pretty hard to overshadow the language ranked as the 4th most popular in the world. Nevertheless, Google has already created programming languages that quickly found their adherents, like Golang or Dart.

The developers state that Carbon aims for performance that matches C++. Furthermore, they announced that by creating Carbon they managed to get rid of all the known flaws of the original object-oriented programming language.

C++ developers can migrate to Carbon using a toolkit that automatically transliterates C++ libraries into Google language code. Carbon is still in its early stages of development, however if you want to download the source code of this new programming language and experiment with it, it is available at Carbon-Lang on GitHub.
