Carbon is an experimental general-purpose programming language created at Google to be a "C++ successor language". It was first presented to the public by Carruth Chandler at the CppNorth conference in July of 2022[1]. The language intends to fix several perceived shortcomings of C++[2] but otherwise provide a similar feature set. One of its goals is bidirectional interoperability with existing C++ code. The language will be designed and developed on GitHub, as opposed to the ISO process C++ uses.
