@rayslava $1M is nothing, if they just dumped $100M, that would be an interesting sign of something happening.

@simontoth For me, $1M looks a reasonable sum to work on a certain technical issues: it's not a fundamental research, it looks more like ABI bug resolving routine. Yes, there's quite a number of those, but you just need several qualified engineers to work accordingly to the plan

@rayslava Indeed, so please explain how "Google spends money to work on some technical issues in Rust" logically leads to "RIP Carbon".

@simontoth the most promoted feature of Carbon was C++ interoperability but now the company invests into development of the interoperability with Rust, not to Carbon feature development.

I do understand that the company of that scale can go all the ways simultaneously but still the news gives a feeling that Rust was preferred over Carbon 🤷

@rayslava The "most prominent feature" which was taken from Swift. Right...
