It is too early to tell. Depends on how good they are at taking 
feedback and cater to seasoned C++ developers. Their first goal 
is to release a minimal-viable-product which is quite a big task 
since it involves all of C++17 and their own generics solution. 
It was stated that another team at Google is looking at interop 
between Rust and C++, and they are following efforts of adding 
lifetimes to C++…

Anyway, it all hangs on the semantics and how fast they deliver. 
Syntax issues are easy to fix later…
