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.
Features
- High-performance systems language with LLVM-backed compilation
- Seamless interoperability with existing C++ codebases (templates, inheritance)
- Tool-assisted version migrations and language evolution
- Safer language fundamentals with a path toward memory safety
- Includes compiler, standard libraries, tools, documentation, and package manager
- Governed by a welcoming open-source community with inclusive governance
