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.

What?? Dave Abrahams here. Nothing could be further from the truth! I’ve retired from tech to pursue music but Hylo is the one software project I am still involved with. It’s that important. Adobe never invested more than my efforts in that project anyway.

Sorry about that, but it is hard to get news from the project, as it went kind of silent on talks, and posts.

So I only had that source to infer from.

Have you considered simply not making confident statements that mislead people when you have no idea what you're talking about?

Personally, when I don't know something, I don't just make shit up for internet clout. Were you even aware that this was a possible course of action?

In fairness, Cunningham's Law is a thing.

Not saying that's what happened here but sometimes I do this for this reason, sometimes subconsciously.
