Carbon is a programming language created by Google to succeed C++, aiming to enhance modern safety features while ensuring high performance. It offers smooth interoperability with C++ and addresses issues like slow compilation times and lack of memory safety. Carbon introduces a more readable syntax, improved generics, and automatic memory management while maintaining low-level control.
Chandler Carruth, the creator of Carbon, leads the C++, C Lang, and LLVM teams at Google, and has contributed to Google’s distributed build system. In this episode, he joins Kevin Ball to discuss 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 leads the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.
