What do you folk think?
If this succeeds, then Google will have the advantage in cross platform code (with Dart) as well as high performance code(Carbon)
It looks more like a Rust replacement to me. Nothing is written about the memory management but they hint that they want to use some kind of life time annotation like Rust. That is enough for me wanting to avoid it.
Since there are no plans for full meta programming, then it is no D or C++ replacement. Rust replacement maybe.
It's another me too Rust language. Good, then D can let other language imitate Rust instead.
