Carbon and Modernizing C++ with Chandler Carruth
Manage episode 500175267 series 1418007
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.
Chandler Carruth is the creator of Carbon, and he leads the C++, C Lang, and LLVM teams at Google, and he also worked on several pieces of Google’s distributed build system. In this episode, he joins Kevin Ball to talk about Carbon and the future of the language.
Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.
