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.
