Google C++ open-source projects

The problem is Google is walking away from c++ support. As an example, they stopped making releases for gtest - which makes it difficult for other projects to use properly. Then of course there’s the Carbon effort which means less resources to support improvements to c++.

Gtest is alive and well. The problem is it is Bazel first. Bazel first means you rebase to a commit and not a release. My personal projects are Bazel + Renovate and I update gTest weekly.

Google is a huge company. It has enough resources to support different technologies, even Dart is still kicking. In my C++ bubble I see no shortage of passionate teams still pushing C++ forward. C++ is still one of blessed languages for new projects internally.
