> Carbon promises a reliable transition

Does it deliver?

Can all existing C++ code be ported to Carbon without refactoring?

 help



What you know with Carbon is that the subset of code that you can port mechanically is behaviourally equivalent to the original. This is massive, and something you can't get from LLM translation.

Is anyone doing that, especially at Google?

I don't know.
