True. Other languages try to iron out perceived flaws. I am quite impressed by how C++ has managed to move, even though it is stuck with its flaws because of the huge installed base (many users). D does not a large installed base so it can move and remove those "perceived bugs". C++ is stuck with the "perceived bugs" and that is what people dislike the most about C++. Any language that wants to take on C++ has to streamline and make the language easy to master. That and a lack of a clear vision on memory management/memory model is D's biggest challenges. Those two aspects are float or sink dimensions, IMHO.
