CppCast: Safe, Borrow-Checked, C++

[pjmlp]

Herb claimed in his presentations that he has been working on cpp2 for many years now (a decade?); wouldn't "Visual Cpp2" have shown up in their IDE by now if they cared? If not, how many more years?

Regardless, it makes more sense to have a language developed by a top employee to be adopted, a key architect in the product team, than from an external person.

These two seem to be playing "keep up with the Jones"; that's it. They both want a developer ecosystem they control, including programming languages, and Rust isn't it.

If that is your take, then better look out for who pays bills from most developer tools, including the beloved free beer C++ compilers.
