FYI, we ended up implementing a _really_ nice SWAR version in the Carbon derivative of SwissTable that might be worth looking at for inspiration: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/co...

Can see the rest of that file and the adjacent `raw_hashtable.h` for the rest of the SwissTable-like implementation and `hashing.h` for the hash function.

FWIW, it consistently out-performs SwissTable in some respects, but uses a weaker but faster hash function that is good enough for the hash table, but not good for other use cases.

We've been watching closely since before the name change. =D Had lots of conversations with several of the folks involved.

> What _is_ interesting is that I get the impression that Carbon is being workshopped with the C++ community, rather than the wider PLT community -- I worry that they won't benefit from the broader perspectives that'll help it avoid well-known warts elsewhere.

FWIW, we're working hard whenever looking at an aspect of the language to look at other languages beyond C++ and learn any and everything we can from them. Lots of our design proposals cite Swift, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, C#, Java, and even Scala.

The reason the Safe C++ proposal wasn't mentioned is that it came years later. =] I'll see if it makes sense for us to update that section a bit, this probably isn't the only thing that we should refresh a bit to reflect the last few years of developments.

FWIW, the biggest challenge with Safe C++ is that WG21 rejected[1] that direction. And it was developed without building a governance model or way to evolve outside of WG21, and so doesn't seem to have a credible path forward.

[1]: FWIW, some members of WG21 don't agree with this characterizationp, but both the author's impression and the practical effect was to reject the direction.

Source-to-source translation is definitely planned. We've even done some early experiments.

But we need to get the language and interop into good shape to be able to thoroughly test and evaluate the migration.
