As I wrote in the nomination, per [1] and [2] there is no Carbon language logo and they are deliberately avoiding creating one. So even if the image isn't deleted it should still be removed from here as pretending it is the logo is just misleading. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 01:59, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Modern C++

In modern C++ you can also use the -> for return type and specify it as int32_t (since 2011's C++11). https://godbolt.org/z/9vr9f9hzq

#include <iostream>

auto main() -> int32_t {
    auto s = "Hello, World!";
    std::cout << s;
    return 0;
}

Since there seems to be a lot of disagreement about the C++ version maybe we should just remove it and have only the Carbon version. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 05:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand the desire to have the code listing copied from somewhere else to avoid endless code adjustments from disagreeing coders, but the C++ code just wasn't written in a way conducive to comparison, nor was it even conforming C++ code. I don't think it's acceptable to embed that comparison on this website, (a link to it would be fine if we must). (For context for future talk readers, here was my proposed equivalent C++ code).

P.s. it's not OK to specify the return type as int32_t, that type is neither required to be int, nor is it even required to exist (it's an optional type alias). The return type of main must be int --Ybab321 (talk) 10:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
