Carbon, a new programming language by Google that was announced at CppNorth 2022 conference as part of the presentation “Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++” by Chandler Carruth on July 22nd 2022 (link ).

Well, Rust is doing fine and I will summarize my thoughts about Rust, Carbon, and modern C++ (C++20 standard as of today).
