C++ is under pressure from Rust, Go and perhaps also D. Mostly

not even sure we would have seen the C++ guidelines/GSL
initiative without Rust. They basically bypassed the standard
process in order to "add features" faster by pushing it at
CppCon...
and in typical C++ fashion, it's going to just be a gigantic
ugly hack
But never mind, it's gonna be _the_ innovation and C++ people
will say "Why use D, we have it in C++! D is outdated! C++ is
modern!" There gonna be books like "Modern programming in C++"
for $68+. It's so boring, so predictable.
