Carbon is Google's experimental open-source project aimed at developing tooling for automated migration of C++ code to a modern programming language with improved governance. The project emerges from Google's disagreements with the C++ Standard Committee and focuses on solving C++'s evolution challenges while maintaining interoperability with existing codebases. Unlike other successor languages, Carbon prioritizes automated code migration and fundamental language rework while building stronger abstractions.
