# Carbon?

I just read an interesting article about the Carbon programming language, an intended successor programming language to C++.

While the article presented interesting content, I was also intrigued to learn about [Compiler Explorer (](https://carbon.compiler-explorer.com/)[compiler-explorer.com](http://compiler-explorer.com)) where at least 46 programming languages or their variants are supported.

The concept is not new, but I thought it was worth checking out. I definitely like that it supports Assembly, C, and Fortran, my tried and true favourites of years past and present.
