Carbon Team, thanks for sharing, I will likely use this if I need to bridge with CXX libraries. Also thanks for adding sum types, and pattern matching, is there anyway you could get the dart team on board? They seem to be averse to them and it's a big reason why I don't use the Dart/Flutter ecosystem.

Au contraire! We're actively investigating them here on the Dart team. We're finalizing the spec here: https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob/98335746fb7f2dedfa2b14709938027b0bf9a4f6/working/0546-patterns/patterns-feature-specification.md https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob/98335746fb7f2dedf...

> Also thanks for adding sum types, and pattern matching, is there anyway you could get the dart team on board? I'm driving the design of pattern matching for Dart. The entire language team is on board with them and we have a design that's pretty far along. It's really hard to integrate pattern matching into a language that wasn't originally designed for it, so it's taken a while to settle on a syntax that makes sense, but I think we're getting close. If you'd like to be involved, there is a category on the issue tracker for design discussions related to patterns and records: https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Apatterns https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is...
