The Carbon Language: Road to 0.1
summary
Carbon targets C++ interop as its 0.1 MVP by packaging a clang/libc++ toolchain and shipping nightly builds that already compile and run examples (a Prime Sieve demo links into the debugger). The project shows concrete progress: over 1,800 PRs and 120 contributors, a live toolchain download, and a demo compiling and executing code. 0.1 intentionally skips coroutines, metaprogramming and full memory safety; the team focuses on practical C++ header imports and incremental migration rather than a finished production release.
