I don't understand why people are taking Carbon so seriously at this stage. Isn't it just a spec and some design docs at this point? And already people are putting it in the running as a better C++? Is this just because it's from Google or are the design docs really that great?
- mbrodersen 4y agoYes it is only because it is from somebody working at Google. If the same person/team released it while not working for Google nobody would care. The fetishisation of anything Google never fails to amuse me. Especially given the long and growing list of failed Google projects.
