No ranges.
Boost.Range
No purity.
Yeah :(
No immutability.
Hmm const objects do it sorta-kinda... ok maybe not lol
No modules.
Apparently these are being considered for the next version!
No dynamic closures.
Hmm? std::function works just fine with lambdas
No mixins.
I don't _quite_ miss these ;)
Little CTFE.
Yeah. :\
No slicing.
You can sorta-kinda emulate these with iterators.
On the plus side, there's no ambiguity as to value vs. reference
semantics in C++.
No delegates.
std::function?
No shared.
I don't think many people find themselves using shared in D
unfortunately.
No template symbolic arguments.
I'm not sure I know what this is referring to. Do you mean
aliases?
No template string arguments.
Ah I really miss this in C++...
No alias this.
While alias this is nice, I don't seem to need it as often in C++
as you'd imagine.
It would come in handy sometimes, to be sure, but it's not a deal
breaker IMO.
