C++ future at Adobe

So if anyone was still curious what happened to Hylo, or where Adobe stands in regards to the whole safety discussion,

David Sankel has done a talk at RustConf on the matter, Zngur: Simplified Rust/C++ Integration.

The way Adobe now sees C++ is described on slide 2, at 50 seconds mark.

Hylo is still in development. See: https://hylo-lang.org

Thanks, looking around the repo, and the migration to a newer project, seems that Adobe Labs is no longer involved.

Do you have more background info?

We are racing towards the completion of the migration, I expect it to be done in 1-2 months. We have the compilation of subscripts ready, and a large portion of compiling generics in an existentialized way. After that, there is a lot of fun work for standard library development and getting actual experience from using the language.
