Trying to add some reference for notability (Not sure if this is enough!) - It's a new language, still in early stage of development! Being developed by Google means a lot of news and resources will come very soon

'''Carbon''' is an experimental [[general-purpose programming language]] created at [[Google]] to be a "[[C++]] successor language". It was first presented to the public by Carruth Chandler at the CppNorth conference in July of 2022<ref name="cppnorthkeynote">{{Cite web |date=2022-07-21 |title=CppNorth2022 Keynote |url=https://cppnorth2022.sched.com/event/140f8/keynote-chandler-carruth-nulbscience-experiment-timenulb?linkback=grid |access-date=2022-07-21 |language=en}}</ref>.

One of its goals is bidirectional interoperability with existing C++ code. The language will be designed and developed on [[GitHub]], as opposed to the [[C++#Standardization|ISO process]] C++ uses.<ref>https://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/453410-googles-carbon-programming-language-aims-to-replace-c.html</ref><ref>https://thenewstack.io/google-launches-carbon-an-experimental-replacement-for-c/</ref>
