This is great news! I do hope they had kept the Open Tracing name though, instead of introducing a 3rd name to the mix.
Hi all! Author here; happy to answer any questions about the OpenTelemetry merger.
I don’t see C++ support mentioned, any particular reason it is ignored?
It's getting started soon:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/master/comm...
We have a very performant prototype!
One usde case I am excited about: taking the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK, and binding it to the OpenTelemetry interfaces in other languages, such as Ruby and Python.
Some runtimes may see a performance boost by running the observability code independently from the GIL, GC, etc.

Might have been better to just stick with OpenCensus as the name and retire OpenTracing.
I didn't know OpenCensus was a thing, but I hope this merger means that adoption spreads. A lot of cloud providers provide their own tracing, and it would be nice if they were all compatible.
