Carbon is designed as a successor to C++ rather than a rewrite-from-scratch language, offering bidirectional C++ interop so teams can migrate incrementally. It addresses C++’s legacy technical debt — complex syntax, undefined behaviour, and slow compile times — while targeting the same performance-critical use cases. As of 2024 it is still pre-1.0 and under active development.
