I have a comment on this site about Carbon from its initial announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32158805 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32158805 A short summary of my feelings is that it has some syntactic oddities, it's too incomplete in some areas to fully evaluate (particularly error handling), and it completely botches overflow. Whatever your opinions on undefined behavior on integer overflow, there really is no justification for keying undefined-versus-well-defined on signed versus unsigned.
