That's true, but memory safety isn't a big problem in C++ if one sticks to what one can do in @safe code. Using gsl::span you get the same stuff as in D for slicing etc.
In my experience memory issues in C++ often comes from casting through pointers (which often is necessary for performance reasons) and having typos in pointer-offsets.
