No, this is why any C/C++ project should be replaced by D ;)
I'm knee-deep in a C++ project right now, and the language is such a
pedantic, anachronistic turd. C++'s *only* saving graces are:
- It's a systems language (ie, native compiled with low-level access).
- It isn't PHP, JS, a JS-derivitive (ex, ActionScript), or Son-Of-Flash
(aka Corona).
- D isn't mature on all platforms yet.
I used Boost, for a C++ project I was working on, to make it more D-like.
Foreach, auto, lambda, default initialization and other things. Most of
these things are available in C++11 now.

I like D as a better C++, but in face of the available tooling, libraries
and with
the support C++11 is getting lateley, I'm still using C++ for private
projects,
while at work I spend most of my time in JVM and .NET worlds.
It is a case of "worse is better".
D, Go, Rust have a big problem to gain adoption in the native world
renaissance.
As another programing language to develop normal applications, there are
already
lots of more established languages. Even if a VM free language is the
prefered tool,
there are actually native code compilers for JVM/.NET languages, and even
Microsoft
seems to be planning to offer native code compiler for C#, from their job
postings.
To become a widspread systems programming language, D needs to get support
from an OS
or driver vendor.
