Carbon is an experimental successor to C++, developed by Google to serve as a modern, safer, and more evolvable systems programming language—designed to interoperate with C++ while providing clearer language design and tooling. Performance matching C++ using LLVM, with low-level access to bits and addresses. Interoperate with your existing C++ code, from inheritance to templates. Fast and scalable builds that work with your existing C++ build systems.

...It eliminates many common language features (e.g., ternary operators) in favour of a consistent, minimal syntax: for example it uses only switch statements for control flow and has only one comparison operator. OK? also treats errors as plain values (strings/arrays) and removes inheritance in favour of what it calls “evolution over composition.” The language emphasises readability and pushing logic out into functions so cases remain simple. It includes concurrency via a map function that executes callbacks in parallel. The project is illustrative of Duffield’s vision: code should feel “magical to write” by removing what is unnecessary.

This is the official repository for the design and evolution of the C# programming language. It's where language features are proposed, discussed, designed, and specified. It contains feature proposals, notes from language design meetings, and the evolving specification. Language Design Meetings (LDMs) are held by the LDT and occasional invited guests, and are documented in Design Meeting Notes in the meetings folder, organized in folders by year.
