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.

Interesting, thanks for the insider take. I honestly would love if they went with Rust.
