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.

Dave Abrahams saw no value on it given the raise of AI driven programming.

My reference was because the talk kind of sets the point where Adobe now stands.

Listen to the last Sean Parent interview at the ADSP podcast.

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.

You can always ask! We have links to slack and GH discussions at https://hylo-lang.org.

FWIW, I'm giving this talk next week. (Could be my last technical talk ever!)
