Apple moved to Swift, but what has Google moved to?

It’s in the process of “moving” on to Carbon.

That is a lot of optimism for a 2022 project from 2022 Google.

Everything 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.

They're also simultaneously looking at Rust as a possible successor to C++ (e.g., by developing better interop tooling). It's believed that at most one of these projects can succeed in the long term.
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.
