Carbon Lang First Look & Crash Course | Google's C++ Successor

Carbon is Google's new C++ successor. In this video, we will talk a little bit about it and then look at the basic syntax including variables, data types, arrays, tuples, classes, generics and more.

I watched this video 10 times and now have the required 10 years of Carbon experience for my unpaid internship. Thanks Brad!

I was pleasantly surprised that you have already covered carbon in such depth. I will be following Carbons development and adaptation very closely. Thank you for providing yet another great course for all to watch for free.

It's great to see you again Brad. You are always one of my favorites. Thanks for all that you do.

[theophilus]

The fact you picked up this to teach us .. I'm grateful...

[corewwwi]

i wasn't expecting a tutorial about this language anytime soon... i liked it!

I have always thought D to be the unofficial C++ successor. But after years of using D, I have to admit that D feels like a second broken C++. So I am really excited how Carbon goes.

31:01 `var` makes the parameter mutable, instead of immutable by default.

You are very fast. Carbon is a new and fresh thing right now and you already did crash course.

[philmarsh]

This is the right way to design new programming languages. Interoperability with the incumbents is absolutely necessary.

Ah takes me back to junior year at college. I took C++ because I liked my first year C class. I liked C++ so much, I used the internet to learn python. Then I wanted to make a Windows app so I learned C#. Then web dev with JavaScript.

Now here I am because I heard about Carbon. Full circle. What a ride it's been.

New languages that google came out with have actually seen growth and use cases like dart/flutter and go. So might be useful to learn relatively early on.

[BrdButtwski]

No need for Carbon, go check Nim and Zig guys. Both have great interoperability with C and C++, both are really fast, both have the "issues" of C and C++. And you will have a lot of fun using them.

[JaskoonerSingh]

It would have been cool if you showed Carbon interoperability with CPP. That is the killer reason for this language. In the same way Kotlin can use Java.

to get code highlighting working, change the file extension to ".carb" it still compiles fine but you get code highlighting. :)

[coolmn]

I see potential on this, gonna make a few stuff on this

[SaeedAhmed-wlpb]

Thanks a lot for this great video man !

[georgereasonproductions]

enjoyed this very much indeed keep up the good work:)

[Alexithymiander]

Sounds like Carbon isn't actually a new language, but rather an exoskeleton that reinforces proper movement with increased strength.

[codedbyshoe]

If this goes the way that other google languages have gone this will most likely have a great future

[sumitkumarsoni]

Brad It was a Joke!!!
But seriously, You are great, Learnt so much from you and Love your videos ❤
