Dave Abrahams and Dimitri Racordon from Swift and C++ fame, announced during their quite interesting keynote for language geeks at C++Now 2022, a new programming language based on a mix of Swift and Rust ideas, with main focus on being value based and generics

The somehow lenghty keynote (3h), that introduces the background ideas leading up to the language, and the language itself,

"A Future of Value Semantics and Generic Programming"
