Without the giants aligning their interests I’m afraid there will be a split in the community. Clang’s std C++ library is already behind GCC’s because Apple and Google have “moved” on.

- elteto 4y agoIt’s in the process of “moving” on to Carbon.
- devnullbrain 4y agoThat is a lot of optimism for a 2022 project from 2022 Google.
- elteto 4y agoEverything starts somewhere. I believe Chandler Carruth is leading the project so that means non-trivial resources are being dedicated to it. Their timeline is also fairly aggressive.

- elteto 4y agoInteresting, thanks for the insider take. I honestly would love if they went with Rust.
