More complex? Wow!

overflow (LOL)
* We have problem to recruit a good C++ not a good D
programmer. (1/100 is good)
* My boss does not have free time to learn new things...
* Using GC is strictly prohibited in realtime apps. And D does
not have an
compiler supported ARC
* D without GC or ARC is not powerful as it can be.
* More and more people are dumber, we must write our programs
for later re-usage
by any junior what we must employ. C++ is in this way much
more easier than D,
cuz you know what every line of your program do. Employ C++
junior programmer
and let him to learn D and then work on our projects is not a
good (and
cost-effective) idea.
C++ for junior programmers is easier? Wow!

for money.
Yes.
D have much more features than C++ to learn before you can use it
in the right way.
I never met programmer who start with D as a first language but I
know many poeple who started with C++. You cannot be objective in
this case. It's just your point of view.
I made OS in C++ then I rewrote it into D and I must say I had
much more problems with D than with C++.
