[$] Comparing Rust to Carbon

Date:
Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:10:36 +0000

Description:
Safe, ergonomic interoperability between Rust and C/C++ was a popular topic 
at RustConf2025 in Seattle, Washington. Chandler Carruth gave a presentation
about the different approaches to interoperability in Rust and Carbon , the
experimental " (C++)++ " language.
His ultimate conclusion was that
while Rust's ability to interface with other languages is expanding over time,
it wouldn't offer a complete solution to C++ interoperability anytime soon  
and so there is room for
Carbon to take a different approach to incrementally upgrading existing C++ 
projects.
His slides are available for readers wishing to study his example code in more
detail.
