That's an early stage, pre-production, experimental language. They are still a couple years out from a 1.0. They aren't moving away from clang for that anytime soon and they sure haven't abandoned clang for it.
Also it isn't even proprietary[1]

- cyber_kinetist 4y agoWell, but I’ve heard that many of the Clang people from Google have switched their gears to work on Carbon, so that might be quite an issue for future Clang development (even if Carbon is in the early stages). I think the possibility is that the Google engineers will do bugfixes for up to C++17 features but will minimize work on catching up to the latest standards (since it really takes up too much engineering effort, and Google seems to be conservative in using newer C++ features anyway and have opinions that differ from the standards.)
