The linked article explains this: classes defined in C++ can be used in Carbon and vice-versa. It even suggests you stick to Rust if that's not what you need.

Edit: Oops, I assumed that the "linked article" was the github page[1] for Carbon, which is a lot more useful.

I guess the README really does answer my question: "Existing modern languages already provide an excellent developer experience: Go, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, and many more. Developers that can use one of these existing languages should."
