LLVM

Google recently unveiled Carbon, an experimental language that is intended to match the performance of the C++ language while supporting LLVM(Low Level Vitual Machine) and being able to interoperate with existing C++ code bases. This is a big deal because C++ is by far the most widely used language for developing HIGH performance low level systems.

Programming languages that were popular a year or even a decade ago are now slowly becoming obsolete. For instance, Microsoft eliminated JavaScript with Typescript, Apple eliminated Objective C with Swift, JetBrains eliminated Java with Kotlin, and now Google is stepping up to take on the greatest challenge of them all, eliminating the almighty C++ with Carbon.
