"Carbon" lang: C++ replacement from Google?

C++ is like a sports car: fast, and very challenging.
And based on installed codebase, short of some AI miracle, it is here to stay.
But it needs to be modernized, and this is super hard, to preserve some compatibility.
Google-level, long term, task.

Carbon and Modernizing C++ with Chandler Carruth - Software Engineering Daily

Carbon is a programming language developed by Google as a successor to C++, and it aims to provide modern safety features while maintaining high performance. It’s designed to offer seamless interoperability with C++ while addressing shortcomings of C++ such as slow compilation times and lack of memory safety. Carbon also introduces features like a more readable syntax, improved generics, and automatic memory management while still allowing low-level control.

GitHub - carbon-language/carbon-lang: Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)
