This right here is why I couldn't give less of a shit about google's C++ replacement.
All they do is build hype and cancel without any trace even when things are successful.
I'm convinced they only kept search and gmail for ads and tracking.

(Assuming they're not encumbered by patents / trademarks / copyright the way Java was/is.) If Google decides to bail on Carbon, any design work, published implementations, etc. remain accessible for others to use or build upon. If Google were to abandon Carbon, the main risk I see is that Google would not longer contribute to Carbon's refinement and implementation. So maybe that would reduce the odds of Carbon reaching critical mass, but it wouldn't flat out prevent people from legally continuing to use it.
- effingwewt 4y agoAll good points, I've just been burnt too many times. Same reason I never pre order or beta a game, etc. Google has gone beyond destroying my goodwill to the point I actively despise them. I loved chrome at first. Same with gmail, google voice, youtube shit even google maps. All started good all now garbage. Same with Facebook and Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, Apple, Uber, Doordash. Burn me once shame on me...
