On: Will Carbon Replace C++?

[nielsbot]

I'd argue Swift has replaced Objective-C, for new code. Or will soon. If Carbon does the same vis-a-vis C++, I'd say they've succeeded in "replacing C++".

Only because the platform's own says it is my way or the highway, Carbon authors don't have this leverage.

Just like Kotlin hardly matters outside Android.

You are still free to use Obj-C for new projects... for now.
