A comment on Google Launches Carbon, an Experimental Replacement for C++. Parent comment
The article addresses this directly and is clear that Carbon is not designed to 'compete with Rust', and instead targets a much narrower use-case:
> Carbon is for those developers who already have large codebases in C++, which are difficult to convert into Rust.
I don't have a large C++ codebase to maintain so I don't currently have any use for Carbon, but I could see it being interesting for those who do.
