There is an announcement already planned at NDC Toronto 2026.

> Carbon: graduating from the experiment

As for it being widely adopted, people keeping missing the point that Carbon is mostly for Google themselves, as means to integrate into existing C++ projects.

They are the very first ones to assert that for green field projects there are already plenty of safe languages to chose from.

What concerns me is that the design of Carbon in aspects seem to have serious issues already now.

In case that you are well familiar with for instance pattern matching, might you have any opinions on the pattern matching that is currently proposed for Carbon?

I am not a Google employee, as such I don't care where they take Carbon, other than being a technology nerd that had compiler design as one of the areas I majored in.

Regarding the linked pattern matching proposal, it seems alright to me, not everything has to be ML like.
