About the project

An experimental programming language designed as a successor to C++, aiming for C++-level performance and seamless interoperability with existing C++ code. Not ready for use yet; the compiler and toolchain are under development.

Useful for
  • Study the language design documents to understand its syntax and generics model
  • Build the Carbon toolchain from source and try compiling examples in Compiler Explorer

1.0 Quiet Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 30, 2026, 10:54 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0510August 6, 2026November 3, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 1 star so far today, about 2 expected by the end of the day.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @strega-nil (228 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
